You turned lawn in to art. Amazing!

What I like:
- the grass, it looks almost like a painting. Very abstract. I would have loved it if the man wasn't in the frame, lol. This is mainly because the pattern of the grass has so much great visual appeal and the man breaks that (which I think was your point by the title.)

What I didn't like:
- That the man's top half is chopped out of frame
- His placement in top right is unsettling (which I think was on purpose, so I guess this comment could be considered an overall positive.)

Overall: unsettling shot.

this is an interesting affect that you have created, but Im not sure if it is necessary. Sometimes basic and simplicity win over having layers of affects.
