I like the image. Its appealing and while I am not into digital and AI I found your notes excellent and realised the fun and skill you had to create this. It tells a story. I would have liked to have sern your photo to appreciate even more the changes.

    Hi Brenda, I would love to present the original image along with the new version, but to do so, would make both images small. I'm thrilled you enjoyed my image so much! Thank you so much for the extraordinary review! I am honored! :o) Nancy
Comment from Cindy Sue Truman


This is one of your best Nancy! Wonderment of childhood and discovery. This would make a beautiful Children's book cover. You made me tired and worn out reading all the steps you used. Removing, adding objects shows that of a real artist. You made it work for you. May I ask what si program you use. Ai is lots of fun but as you described the image was not perfect but you made it yours with lots of Re Do's. Can't wait to see what you will create next. Stay Always Blessed my sweet friend. ~ CindySue

    Hi Cindy, It's so nice to hear from you! Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments and your awesome 6 star review! To make this I used Microsoft Design AI imager. All you have to do is create an account and you can use it online for free. :o) Nancy
Comment from Ray Gordon


Hi Nancy, I see you are having fun with your AI. This is a cute scene.You general theme is easily understood and known by many. The fire flys and the shooting stars are cool. All those things you had to remove are comical. I see another you may have missed the sneaker right in front of the girl, but that is no biggie. Nicely presented. Ray

    Hi Ray, AI is definitely not as easy as you think! It really takes a lot of images before you find one you like. Someone here told me AI does some wonky things to images. I believe them! I can't even imagine why AI would add 2 skulls to this image. LOL
    I did see the sneaker, but wasn't sure if there was enough background around it to clone it out, so left it alone. It could be that it belonged to the little girl, but I have no idea why she wouldn't be wearing it.
    I'm thrilled you enjoyed this! Thank you so much for the awesome review! :o) Nancy

    Nancy, no biggy, I just saw it there. AI seems to add strange things. AI doesn't fill me with desire to even try it. I love the traditional where all the strokes are the artist's along with the ideas. But thats me. To see you enjoy it in you natural progression is nice. Ray

    Hi Ray, Just wanted you to know I wasn't arguing with you about the sneaker. I just wanted you to know I knew it was there! I was absolutely thrilled by your review! :o) Nancy

I have to give you credit for your imagination, it has turned out a beautiful piece of art. I love the innocence portrayed by these two young children. Good luck in the contest.

Should of entered this into art for the imagination! Really cool image. I like how you worked it. I'm trying to get away from AI only cause I don't want to loose my design and art skills. I will go back and forth if I need something I can't find. Either way, I love the editing skills you used here. I think this is a great way to use AI and I applaud your editing skills. Don't loose yourself in it though, I love seeing your quirky art that makes you, you :)

    Hi Lynn, I'm still going to post the mixed media I always have posted, but am yearning to experiment with this. When I do, do AI work there will always be a lot of my unique touches within it. I wouldn't want to post it any other way! :o) I've always loved the fact that when you do AI, you don't let it rule you. you see beyond what is there and let your artistry rule the image. I'm a big fan of your work either way. Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm incredibly honored you enjoyed this! :o) Nancy

So magical. This is a masterpiece, Nance. I love all the elements of your composition, especially the Little Ones, gazing at the sky The composition is superb, nicely framed, and the lights added drama in this scene. The two trees on each side made a nice border and frame, too. Excellent skills and conceptualization. This will be a nice book cover for Children's Book. A joy to view.

    Hi Maureen, I'm very picky about what I want to post! I had to create a lot of images with AI before I found one I wanted to use. It was far from perfect but I saw a vision of what it could be and took over from there! Thank you so much for your super lovely review! I am more than honored by the six stars you blessed this with! :o) Nancy

Glad you had to make changes to this Nancy,like a lot of people you do wonder how ai will change our perception of things and i worry how it will effect photography/art in years to come and whether people will use those mediums as such,this is clever though and something i probarly will not do,but can see why some people will....Brian

    Hi Brian, I have a love/hate relationship with AI! The last thing in the world I want to do is take away from the talented artists and photographers we have on the site. I am in awe that one's mind can see a vision and the dexterity and movement of their hands can create it. The eye of the photographer like yourself sees special moments that tell a story and they want to capture it.
    With any AI I do I want to put my vision within it. Someone here told me AI does "wonky" things to images. I agree with them. AI doesn't understand a lot! I know in images I've tried to create with it there are things that don't belong. I promise any AI I do will have a lot of editing done to add a new dimension to the image.
    ..................After all that, I want to thank you Big Time for reviewing this piece and blessing it with six stars. I know how you feel about AI and didn't even think you'd look at it! Thank you so much for doing so! :o) Nancy
