repotting of the big scots pine - part 7

And then the wire was taken off in summer 2006. And all the glory was gone. One must know that this is NORMAL for a Scots pine. The branches are rather thin and after taking off the wire of first styling it ALWAYS looks terrible. One has to wire again and again until the branches are stable. Anyway, here the picture after taking off the wires. Will this ever become a beauty again?
