Very nice, I like it !
I like the contrast between sharp and blurred, colored and subdued.
And the stem of the birch brings in dynamic.
I could imagine the image can be made even stronger with some sensible playing in post.
E.G. what comes to my mind would be a selective sharpening of the stem or a little contrast or brightness for the yellow blurred leaves.
But its already good as it is.
I personally find it very challenging to tame the chaos of bushes and other images where you have a bunch of twigs.
You've done a good job here!
Well seen !
