Very readable I think, looking good. Colours overall are too saturated to my eyes, sky especially so. Lightest highlight on the trunk seems far to intense.
Yah I tried to make a pot.. but I couldn't make it look right so I thought ill add a sky or something but it looked so "naked" when I didn't have clouds. Ill try to make a pot for it. Can't promise it'll be good though ;)
I think you can clearly see a tree. The clouds however does not make the tree appear to be a bonsai as it only make it look like a full sized tree. A bonsai usually has a pot its planted in. This always too clearly shows its small.
