desat- bit of burning and cloned out some petals that had fallen in the water. I tried to copy the style of Ansel Adams but it is very hard to copy such an amazing mans work.

Revisiting and explaining my lower scores - I hope to be helpful, not insulting.
I only rated this a 4 because the man's shirt is pretty well blown out and the photo seems very cluttered and haphazard, due to the brush. I understand you cannot control the brush, and you did a very good job of giving shadow detail, but the tonality of the grass and brush is distracting and confusing. Bumping up to a 5 due to good shadow detail
