I really have no idea how faithful images are when they get downsized. I know there are different aligo’s in different apps etc but my screen is only 1920 by 1280 so your image has 4 or 5 more pixels on each axis… I never really stopped to think about it and maybe its not really an issue but there must be compression of that extra information to map it to a lower resolution device…
My father-in-law always said, “A weed is just a flower out of place.”

Here is my attempt at an edit. As usual, I see it as a dreary day, so I can’t bring myself to the bright, lively foreground everyone seems to prefer. dt 4.4.2

It was very changeable but at this point, yes, I think it had been raining

Added a graduated filter which imho was a bit uneccessary. Clouds where quite nice with less contrast. Left it in for populist reasons 
Otherwise no fiddling really. Slightly tweaked tone curve, colour propagation highligh reconstruction.

I looked up that camera… seems like it has a mode to “bypass” the low-pass filter… Have you experimented with that at all …would be interesting to see if you see a sharper image

Once those highlights are gone, they’re gone. I tried to mitigate them as much as possible (not the least by simply cropping some off). It was kinda tough to keep the pink cast suppressed, though.
I think this is worth reshooting if / when conditions merit. It could benefit from bracketing and focus stacking, at least the fore- to mid-ground.

Yeah, I tried to crop a bit but there are still dataless chunks I’ve tried to imperfectly disguise as cloud

As far as I understand, the 5DSR has an extra low pass filter reversed that’s supposed to cancel out the effect of the normal low pass filter in the 5DS version. That’s the manufacturer blurb, anyway. I don’t think it’s user controllable
My attempt below. I think the most interesting parts are the flowers, so I did not emphasize the sky, and removed contrast from the distant hills etc.

Shows how a simple picture can be taken in quite a few different ways. The sky is probably closer to how I perceived it at the time and feels more realistic

All I did to the sky is skew in sigmoid.

Those display referred modules are a mystery to me though some seem pretty useful
Thanks for sharing - my attempt. Darktable 4.4.2
The sky was definitely a challenge.
