No pun, just poorly titled...I've since learned it should be bonsai. The
compositing allows for a larger, higher resolution image. For, example,
this image prints 2'x3' at 240ppi. As for the IR, I'm just fascinated by
the idea of adding nuance to an image that isn't available otherwise,
but still genuine and not a filter. However, in diffuse light, it
produces a rather tight/flat tonal range that, when stretched out a bit
gives, to me at least, a much softer feel than simply desaturating a
normal color image. But, I will agree that IR didn't make as much of a
difference in this case.

An interesting pun - do you perhaps mean bonsai? I'm not at all
certain of the purpose of compositing nor does the infrared treatment
draw attention to itself, so I'm not certain of the point of it
either. The anthropomorphic implications of the arm and elbow, as
well as the head of leafy hair make me wish the angle had been just
lower enough for the viewer to see whether a face could be found
underneath all those leaves.
