First we find a pic of hard/impossible whitewater, then safely speculate over proposed lines whilst remaining firmly in cyberspace.
A bit like a virtual version of the river bank discussions that punctuate every river trip;
Any takers for this one?

Well yes, but we are safely planted in front of a computer, so there is no danger of actually having to run it.
What about running next to the near bank through the little seam? get nicely tucked in to the water on your left and your bound to squirt through. What could possibly go wrong!?

A hard boof river left swinging off the tree if necessary!!

Think I'd agree with Robbeale, Big right hand blade boof as close to the left bank as possible and then a good pint in the local.

I'd say a left hand boof, landing on a left edge so that you maintain some downstream speed, meaning you don't get pasted into the wall on the river left...

And now for something even sketchier (beware of siphons)... You've run the top two drops, and now you're approaching the main event (the bith with two black rocks mid river). What do you do*?

Take the chicken run on the river right obscured by the tree. :D

If that's not an option then I'd probably start taking some deep breathes in readiness for disaster!

Ooh - nasty one.
Still if its gotta be run, id be looking at hard river right boofing from right to left and get into that slot on centre right. keep some left angle in the boat going down and help it with a big right sweep/boof to let the hole at the bottom move you away from the rock.
