Tiger bark ficus - 8 months

Here is a medium/large ficus I picked up in Jan and chopped it back and wired it and yesterday defoliated it and wired it again.

I guess no one liked this short progression haha.

I gave it a like, what am I, chopped liver?

Your pretty experienced, what can a person say?

Although some of the branching on the viewer's right are a bit straight and a bit big for their respective positions. Maybe it's just not showing in 2d....

I like it but wonder if you made this the new apex, removed those branches to the right and tilted it a bit more to the right how it would look? Just thinking out loud.

The branches you circled are deep in the back. To far - I considered it. In the future I can grow some new options for the top. It's definitely got a few heavy branches up there.
