Re: Trident maple too
photo with the can looks to be the best trunk angle but there's no branches so you really can't pick a viewing angle yet.
Best view should take into account: nebari, trunk, branches, features and faults. You can work towards a possible plan but if the branching does not co-operate you may need to compromise.
Note that nebari seems to be a high priority in trident maples but for some reason this one lacks any visible surface roots. There must be some roots somewhere?

Re: Trident maple too
It's a damn fine beast, but if that is all that it grew in the last season, can I suggest that you need a couple of seasons free growth to get some strength back in it, before you get too creative? It's a great beast, please keep posting as it develops.
