The experts say windswepts are difficult to make look realistic but you could tilt the tree to the right and bring all three right branches into a windswept pattern. The one on the left might even be able to pulled around and pointed right to make a great statement. Risky but maybe worth the try. Check a bunch of books or do a web search on windswept bonsai and you will get a bunch of ideas.

Another one: possible a cascade using only the lower branch.

Third: Al's suggestion but I'm not sure you will ever have enough branches for an informal.

You might (and I empasize might because you never know) get a virtual or crude virtuals (my version) if you re-photgraphed the tree against a white background. You can't do much with all the foilage in the back.
