I'm used to the little junipers, so I haven't really got anything to say
about the bonsai itself...

Lighting seems fake somehow, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

The bamboo is either too dark, or too saturated, I think. Or both.

What's that green stuff on the dirt supposed to be? Moss? Mold? Lichen?
Bright green spray paint? You might work on that a bit...

All the same, it's a nice pic.
