That looks ok mate. In spring you should see lots of new buds spring up all along the branches and trunk. Just rub off the ones you don't need and let some more grow to fill out your foliage pads.
Just one thing though, Hard to tell in photos but it looks like the tree might be a bit 2dimensional now. Is there any branches going out the back of the tree to give some depth?

Also be careful about crossing over wires. To avoid scaring to your tree you will need to keep a close eye on those areas as they are more likely to put unwanted strain on your tree before the rest of your wiring job.

Ilithy asked me for some advice on what to do in a PM So here is a couple of suggestions virts.
Remember as Shibui said you need to have to more forward and back depth, so the branches and apex will be moved back or forward before they get to hard.

Both Virts are tilted about 30deg to the left and the apexes taken off as they are quite boring and just continue the trunline up.
