Ben,
Wonderful! Welcome to the world of nature abstracts! Probably not your first though… 
(at least I don’t remember any…)
This is an awesome result of the multiple exposure technique. I actually wasn’t even thinking multiple exposure until you revealed it.
I think this works beautifully as presented. My only suggestion would be to somehow deal with the heavy dark branch. At first I thought a square crop eliminating the branch could work - and I think it could. But also just thought of rather than removing with a crop, perhaps selectively brightening the darker tones to come in better balance with the rest of the tones? Just thinking out loud.
Somewhat chaotic, but I rather quite like this!

Nicely done Ben. I like the in camera multiple exposure result especially the impressions of leaves. That darker spot on the left edge near the flowers catches my eye. There is a nice circular pattern where my eye travels from the bottom left corner, then up to the dark tree branch, to the right, and then to the upper center.
@Lon_Overacker , @Alfredo_Mora ,Lon, after seeing your efforts I felt obliged to also make a bit of abstract image. I must still learn to value this kind of photography . Yes, I gave it a try several times.
I tried to learn from " neltalen.nl" , not always with succes.
Alfredo, Thank you for appreciating my effort on this as Lon call’s it World of nature abstracts.
I did a rework for the tree that was indeed a bit dark, and for the dark spot the left,
I hope you both like it this way .

Ben,
Nailed it! Thank you for taking the time to consider and re-work the image. You have definitely elevated this to the next level. Congrats!
Beautiful image, Ben! And as always, I love the haiku to go with it! I really like how your rework brightened everything up and the greens stand out more. Nice work!
