Very fine. Literati is not only simple, but startling at its best. That straight first branch has just the right angle to get away with it.
The only (minor) suggestions I'd have would be possibly to lighten the third and fourth branches even more, and give it less of a mountain to sit on.
Sorting a difficult tree out in such a public way is certainly not easy, but very helpful to the rest of us.
Once again, very fine.

Thanks Gavin, hmm i never looked at it that way. Sorting out a problem tree in public but, of course, you are right. I hope it saves people some agony. Damn, its fun though.
