The latest #macromondays challenge #MadeofMetal prompts me to share this picture with you.
A drawing pin (in British English) or thumb tack (in North American English) is a short nail or pin used to fasten items to a wall or board for display and intended to be inserted by hand, usually using the thumb. A variety of names is used to refer to different designs intended for various purposes.
Thumb tacks made of brass, tin or iron may be referred to as brass tacks, brass pins, tin tacks or iron tacks, respectively. These terms are particularly used in the idiomatic expression to come (or get) down to brass (or otherwise) tacks, meaning to consider basic facts of a situation.
The height of the Thumbtack is 8 mm !

Prompted by wonderful wishes in Flickr mail from James and Julie, and David's comment this morning on Meidy, this was life on the fence a few yards from my caravan in yesterday's magical morning fog.
I planned to be back here next week, but couldn't hold off any longer. Thank you David :-) And James and Julie :-)
Loads of stuff has occurred.
Missed this place, your photos, stories and you lovely people so much :-(
Can't wait to start catching up tonight. My love and best wishes to you :-)))

"In Irish when you talk about emotion, you don't say, "I am sad". You'd say, "Sadness is on me" - Tà bròn orm".
And I love that because there's an implication of not identifying yourself with the emotion fully. I am not sad, it's just that sadness is on me for a while. Something else will be on me another time, and that's a good thing to recognise."

Prompted by seeing a recent photograph of a Capuchin Monkey at Mato Grosso, Brazil, I decided to post some further images of my own encounter with these monkeys which are particularly gifted in their use of tools. This was the dominant male in action, highly respected by the rest of the troupe.
Capuchin Monkeys were given their name in the 15th century when Portugese explorers encountered them in the Americas and thougt their colouring and 'caps' of dark hair resembled the brown hoods worn by friars of Minor Capuchin.
Thank you all for your kind responses.

**Prompt :**
Plan macro cinématographique hyperréaliste de plusieurs coccinelles rouge vif aux points noirs brillants, évoluant lentement sur des feuilles vert émeraude couvertes de gouttelettes de rosée cristallines. La scène se déroule à l’aube, baignée dans une lumière dorée douce et diffuse, avec un léger contre-jour qui crée des halos lumineux et des reflets subtils dans chaque goutte d’eau. Les fleurs de cerisier blanches et rosées, délicates et légèrement translucides, encadrent la composition avec des pétales finement texturés et des étamines dorées parfaitement définies.
Profondeur de champ extrêmement réduite (effet bokeh crémeux), arrière-plan flou aux tons verts et pastel, avec particules d’eau en suspension capturées en plein mouvement, comme figées dans le temps. Les coccinelles présentent des détails microscopiques : carapaces lisses et brillantes avec reflets spéculaires, petites pattes articulées accrochées aux nervures des feuilles, antennes fines en légère vibration.
Ambiance sonore suggérée : silence naturel, ponctué de gouttes tombant au ralenti. Sensation de fraîcheur humide après une pluie matinale.
Style visuel : hyperréalisme photographique, rendu 8K, HDR, textures ultra fines, éclairage global illumination, inspiration nature documentaire haut de gamme type BBC Earth, avec une touche artistique cinématographique proche d’un film contemplatif.
Objectif macro 100mm, ouverture f/2.8, slow motion subtil, color grading chaud et organique.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-detailed hyperrealistic cinematic macro shot of several vivid red ladybugs with glossy black spots, slowly moving across emerald green leaves covered in crystal-clear dewdrops. The scene takes place at dawn, bathed in soft golden light, with subtle backlighting creating glowing halos and delicate reflections inside each droplet. White and pale pink cherry blossoms frame the composition, their petals slightly translucent, with finely detailed textures and golden stamens rendered with precision.
Extremely shallow depth of field (creamy bokeh effect), with a softly blurred background in green and pastel tones. Suspended water droplets appear frozen mid-air, capturing a fleeting moment in time. The ladybugs reveal microscopic detail: smooth reflective shells with specular highlights, tiny articulated legs gripping the leaf veins, and fine antennae subtly vibrating.
Suggested atmosphere: serene natural silence, punctuated by slow-falling droplets. A sense of fresh humidity after early morning rain.
Visual style: photographic hyperrealism, 8K resolution, HDR, ultra-fine textures, global illumination lighting. Inspired by high-end nature documentaries (BBC Earth style) with a poetic cinematic touch, evoking a contemplative film scene.
Macro lens 100mm, aperture f/2.8, subtle slow motion, warm and organic color grading.

**Prompt :**
Portrait cinématographique ultra détaillé d’une femme à la chevelure flamboyante, profil gauche, yeux fermés dans une expression de sérénité mystique. Sa peau est lumineuse, texture hyperréaliste avec pores subtils, légère rosée naturelle, éclairage doux type golden hour caressant les reliefs du visage. Ses cheveux longs, roux incandescent, semblent vivants, s’étirant en volutes complexes et fluides, se transformant progressivement en arabesques dorées liquides inspirées de l’Art nouveau, rappelant des motifs organiques et décoratifs.
Dans ces flux dorés, des gouttes métalliques en suspension captent la lumière comme du miel incandescent. Des chauves-souris noires, aux ailes détaillées et légèrement translucides, émergent du décor, figées dans un mouvement naturel, ajoutant un contraste dramatique. L’arrière-plan est une composition riche, presque cosmique, mêlant nuit profonde bleutée et structures dorées rappelant une ville onirique ou des fragments d’architecture fractale, illuminée de milliers de petites fenêtres scintillantes.
Éclairage cinématographique volumétrique, avec particules flottantes dans l’air, profondeur de champ très faible (bokeh artistique sur les éléments secondaires). Rendu ultra photoréaliste en 8K, textures fines, détails extrêmes, reflets réalistes sur les surfaces dorées. Style fusion entre peinture classique et rendu CGI moderne, inspiré par Gustav Klimt mais avec une approche hyperréaliste contemporaine.
Caméra virtuelle : mise au point sur le visage, arrière-plan légèrement flou. Composition équilibrée, règle des tiers, sujet placé légèrement à gauche. Palette de couleurs dominée par l’or, l’ambre, le cuivre et le bleu nuit profond.
Ambiance : onirique, élégante, légèrement gothique, entre rêve et alchimie.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-detailed cinematic portrait of a woman with flowing fiery red hair, shown in left profile, eyes closed in a serene, almost mystical expression. Her skin is luminous and hyperrealistic, with subtle pores, natural softness, and a gentle blush. Soft golden hour lighting grazes her face, sculpting delicate shadows and highlights with a painterly touch.
Her long, radiant red hair appears alive, expanding into intricate, fluid tendrils that gradually transform into liquid gold arabesques, inspired by Art Nouveau patterns. These swirling forms feel organic and ornamental, as if her hair is dissolving into a dreamlike current of molten metal.
Within these golden streams, metallic droplets hang suspended in midair, catching light like glowing honey. Dark bats with finely detailed, slightly translucent wings emerge from the composition, frozen mid-flight, adding a subtle gothic tension and contrast.
The background is rich and immersive, blending deep midnight blues with complex golden structures resembling a surreal, dreamlike city or fragmented luminous architecture. Thousands of tiny glowing windows and geometric fragments shimmer softly, creating depth and visual intrigue.
Cinematic volumetric lighting, with floating particles in the air. Extremely shallow depth of field, artistic bokeh softening secondary elements. Ultra-photorealistic 8K rendering, extreme detail, realistic reflections on gold surfaces. A fusion of classical painting and modern CGI realism, inspired by Gustav Klimt yet grounded in contemporary hyperrealism.
Virtual camera settings: sharp focus on the face, softly blurred background. Balanced composition using the rule of thirds, subject slightly offset to the left. Color palette dominated by gold, amber, copper, and deep midnight blue.
Mood: dreamlike, elegant, slightly gothic, suspended between alchemy and fantasy.

Connaissez-vous le "Prompt Art"
Le prompt art est une technologie qui consiste a creer des œuvres d'art au moyen de l'intelligence artificielle.
Le principe est que l'utilisateur d'une interface informatique tape des mots cles dans un moteur de recherche, dont l'intelligence artificielle va se servir pour generer une ou plusieurs œuvres : « Comme vous lisez un prompteur, le prompt c’est un bout de texte qui va passer par une serie d’algorithmes, un reseau de neurones pour generer une image »
Alors je m'y suis essaye, une phrase quelques mots en anglais et hop.

**🎬 Prompt (FR) :**
Trois chatons ultra réalistes blottis dans un panier en osier tressé, posé sur une surface douce aux tons pastel, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et onirique. Le premier chaton, à gauche, est gris tigré avec les yeux fermés, profondément endormi, ses petites pattes repliées sous son museau. Le second, au centre, est un chaton roux aux yeux bleu clair perçants, regardant directement l’objectif avec une expression curieuse et innocente. Le troisième, à droite, est crème très clair, presque ivoire, avec des yeux bleu pâle légèrement humides, donnant une impression de douceur fragile.
Le panier est orné d’un ruban rouge satiné scintillant, noué en un large nœud parfaitement détaillé, avec des reflets lumineux subtils. À côté du panier repose une petite souris en tissu cousue main, avec des coutures visibles et une texture textile réaliste.
L’éclairage est cinématographique, doux et diffus, type golden hour, avec un léger contre-jour créant un halo délicat autour des chatons. Profondeur de champ très faible (bokeh crémeux), arrière-plan flou composé de fleurs pastel roses et beiges, ambiance rêveuse et romantique.
Textures extrêmement détaillées : chaque poil est visible, légèrement duveteux avec micro-reflets, les moustaches fines captent la lumière, le panier montre des irrégularités naturelles du bois tressé. L’atmosphère est légèrement brumeuse avec des particules flottantes lumineuses, ajoutant une touche magique.
Palette de couleurs harmonieuse : tons chauds, pastel, crème, pêche, rose poudré, avec contraste doux. Style photographique hyperréaliste, rendu 8K, netteté extrême sur les sujets, dynamique de lumière naturelle, HDR subtil.

**🎬 Prompt (EN):**
Three ultra-realistic kittens nestled together inside a handwoven wicker basket, resting on a soft pastel-toned surface in a warm, dreamy atmosphere. The kitten on the left is a gray tabby, peacefully asleep with eyes closed, tiny paws tucked under its chin, fur slightly ruffled like brushed velvet. The center kitten is a ginger tabby with striking light blue eyes, gazing directly into the camera with an innocent, curious expression that feels almost human. The kitten on the right is a very pale cream, nearly ivory, with soft bluish eyes slightly glossy, conveying delicate tenderness.
The basket is wrapped with a shimmering red satin ribbon tied into a large, perfectly shaped bow, catching light with subtle specular highlights. Beside the basket lies a small handmade fabric mouse toy, with visible stitching, textured cloth, and tiny button-like eyes.
Lighting is cinematic and soft, reminiscent of golden hour, with gentle backlighting that creates a delicate halo around the kittens’ fur. Extremely shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh; the background melts into a blur of pastel flowers in pink and beige tones, evoking a romantic, storybook mood.
Textures are hyper-detailed: every strand of fur visible with fine micro-highlights, whiskers catching glints of light, the wicker basket showing natural imperfections and organic fiber detail. The air carries faint floating dust particles glowing softly, adding a magical, ethereal touch.
Color palette is harmonious and warm: soft creams, peach, blush pink, warm beige, balanced with gentle contrast. Style is hyperrealistic photography, ultra high resolution (8K), razor-sharp focus on subjects, subtle HDR, natural light rendering.
