shadow double caused by multiple light sources. I think it would look better with one.

Hmmmm... Somthing about this image is quite striking.... Its the sort of image that makes you do a double-take... Nice, artistic composition.

Like the shadow except for the hair-like bit arching over the right edge of the planter. Looks like you had a hair on your lens or mirror. Try cloning that out (subject to DPC rules, of course)

Unique, interesting. I like this picture. Small nitpick is the red brick underneath the bonsai. For some reason my eye is drawn to it.

The colors seem to be flat.. but I still like the whole concept.
Bonsais are awesome!

Cropping this so just the shadow on the wall is the shot would have met the challenge and been a pretty decent photo in all regards. As it is, the orange, brown and black of the bonsai subject detract from the green on green theme and push this towards dnmc.

Interesting shot - I think it would be better in a Shadows challenge however as my eye is drawn more to the shadow than the idea of 'green on green'
