Need to find a suitable background further away. The distance and size of tree don't match. Alright for my first go I guess.

Goshin- Applied Photography
Not all that happy with how it turned out, but thought I'd share anyway.

Re: Goshin- Applied Photography
Hi Mitchell. You found a nice natural group there. If you want bokeh with shallow DOF and large aperture then backgrounds don't matter. However, usually with bonsai groups you may want more DOF to see depth of the group and therefore sometime smaller aperture is more disired in this case. I usually step down to f8 for groups. I however, use f2 - f4 for stand-a-lone bonsai trees with some sort of backdrop. I would step up to f1.2 or f1.4 to blur the backgound if it is too busy to distract viewers from the subject tree.
Ps. your photo does look artistic! Well done for the first try.
Cheers,
DK

Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: Goshin- Applied Photography
Just so everyone is clear. 
This is a shot of Goshin's trunks applied over a photograph of a forest setting. Neither are my photographs.
Here's the original shot of Goshin with the white wall we are use to. Goshin
Here's someone elses attempt, back when this type of thing was popular.
