This is a very special piece of summer art, Nancy. I have a love/hate feeling about AI art. Good to know that you took away weird details and added your own touch. Great job.
I am curious what you told it you wanted.
Funny about the skulls. I wonder what that was about! Haha

Hi Jewell, believe it or not I have a love/hate relationship with AI too!
I love the skills you and other artists here have and am so amazed by what you create! I would never want to take that away from you by using AI and simply creating an image. I want to put my whole heart and soul into it. My creative spirit will be in everything I post or I won't post it! That means changing and re-arranging these AI to make the image more mine. ...... In this image I asked AI for two young children out catching fireflies and placing them in a jar. I asked for the Perseus meteor to be taking place and for the children to be enjoying both events. The imager created 4 images at a time of what I asked. I didn't like a lot of it! I don't know how many images were created before I saw promise in this one. It definitely needed to be fixed1 I changed it to what I wanted to see by taking out a lot of fireflies and meteors. I have no idea why AI thought skulls would be a nice addition to this image. In this image the skulls don't make sense at all! LOL I wanted this image to have a 3D look and did that work on my own by layering the background with the trees, the children and the jar. I worked hard to make this mage shine! I want to do these the same way I do my Mixed media photos. In the future I hope to combine the two together.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and six stars! I'm honored you enjoyed it so much! :o) Nancy

I am do glad you added the jar! It makes the image! I know you have a lot of integrity with your art! Again, great job!

Well Mary, I have little knowledge of the AI process but if I did, I am sure I would be doing the same things to make it my own vision. You have created a lovely scene. Showing charm and innocence. Well done and enjoyable to look at :)

HI Cindy, My name is Nancy, but that's ok, I know how easy it is when you're into reviewing to call someone by the wrong name. :o) I used Microsoft Designer AI Imager to create this. You write down what you want to see and it creates an image from it. It does seem to add things that don't belong too. I love changing what I don't like and putting my creative spirit in it. I'm glad you enjoyed what you saw. Thank you for the wonderful review! :o) Nancy

Oh Nancy, I am sorry I do apologize. Thank you for the insight on your process. And you are welcome :)

Pure magic all around. Such a clever and imaginative scene- takes me back a few years when my siblings and I chased fireflies this time of year. Excellent use of AI base to start then made it better with your own technical skill. Fantastic work!

Hi Lil Jens, Though some people say AI creates perfect images I found that not to be the case. I always get a lot of things that don't belong. I hope I add new life to the image with my own special touches. I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I'm glad it brought back pleasant images for you. Thank you so much for the awesome review! :o) Helvi

After spending way too many hours getting things all wonky with AI models, I can affirm it is far from perfect. That is where strong editing skills make all the difference. Lil-Jens Studio- (Formerly DeansterZ). Changed the name to match my website. :)

I've reviewed your work under your old name and really enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know you changed it to this new one. ......Love your thoughts of AI being wonky! I had to go thru a few images to finally get to this one and it definitely had some wonky touches. So glad I could rid this of those strange additions. :o)
