Opinions???.... It is fresh out of a training pot. Branches need to be trained down again soon.

nice, I woud shorten the top down a little as I think it is too tall and not much taper in the sections above the first branches

Good fig like nebari, nice taper and movement, good looking branches :clap: Just keep the top in check so it develops into a rounded crown - the emphasis on lower, spreading branches and butressed trunk.
