Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Did I Overprune?, 1 by sherriseden

I had been reading about pruning shrubs as I now have about 15. This is a viburnum trilobum Red Wing Select that I planted in '04 or '05. I read that if there are crossed branches, one should be pruned out. This one had two pairs of crossed branches and one that was interfering with a hydrangea. I pruned these out to the ground and saw the crosses were indeed wounding each other. It looks really bare now - do you think I overpruned? Actually, I kind of like the architectural look at the bottom. Is that goofy?

Sorry - don't mean to bombard this forum with my viburnum questions!!
