Update photo: She is still alive and growing. I lost the top most branch when I had it in the sun on a warm winter day. I'm not surprised, though. It was pretty weak. I haven't done much to it, other than rewire and reduce the jin a little.

Well, you didn't kill it!
Your first image is actually a better "windswept" image than the latest one is. Why? It now "droops". The first image has the branches being blowing out horizontal. Rather than drooping.
The loss of that top foliage is actually an improvement. Can you bend that top Jin a bit to bend into a curve that follows the wind?
I particularly like the curve you put into the bottom branch of your first image. Can you do that again? Do both branches the same way. (If your first image had the tip end of the upper branch blowing out more, rather than the little droop it had, it would have been even better).
Remove any green below the brown branch. Any growth growing straight up spoils the image. Either trim it off, or detail wire it to move with the wind. I suggest getting some size 20 and 22 gauge copper wire.
Windswept is very difficult to pull off effectively, and difficult to maintain. Yours is actually pretty good!
