Hi,
I've had an apple tree delivered today. It's a Malus Red Windsor in a M26 rootstock. I'm wondering whether I should prune it to get the look I'm wanting. I've attached a photo of the tree, where I've placed the red tape is where I'm considering cutting.

I keep trying but it's not uploading for some reason.
Here it is https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5bRmXmOvJltXzBfUU9IQ2paaU0/view?usp=drivesdk
That probably is too short actually.
This is how I'd like it to look eventually.

I've watched a few videos on pruning but still a little clueless.
Any ideas how I achieve this look? The main stem seems a little too high to me.
