A pretty photo, with a calm, sombre feel.

Well done on getting so much of the bonsai into the shot, showing its interesting shape and the various thicknesses of its branches. Also, well done on including other things to look at in the picture, and not too many.
You can't see much in the background - the images are quite fuzzy - but I think that's good. It means that my attention isn't distracted from the bonsai, which I think is meant to be the main focus of the picture, and the different shades in the background give variety, and make the picture more visually interesting (I also like the fact that you've photographed the bonsai with different shades of light falling on it. That not only makes it more interesting to look at, but makes it easier to make out the bonsai's shape.

Some people might claim that making everything in this photo a shade of brown makes it look boring. Personally, I like monotone pictures like this - it emphasises the different shades, making it easier to notice them and appreciate them. The monotone also gives the picture a nice simplicity.
I don't know much about bonsai, but, looking at them, they give the impression of thoughtful simplicity and venerability, somehow. The brown shades of this photo went quite a way towards giving that sort of impression.
