the prompt included H.R. GIGER and ALPHONSE MUCHA
EVOLVED from SD v1.5 what I had seen as a prompt fail, I reworded the prompt evolving on SDXL 1.0 to make the scene fit into my 'Cryptid Wonderland'.
I guess one has to go with the flow.

I created this for my son's LinkedIn profile banner image. He lives in Spain but provides a service to local companies as an English copywriter.
So I promised to explain and give an overview of how I created this image if anybody was interested and I have had a few messages and a post below. So here goes:
I lit the pencil and droplets using two LED panels quite close to the subject. I set-up the pencil held in place with a clamp. Shot using a 100mm macro lens I had to shoot the pencil in two shots. This was due to needing to be close to get the resolution I needed and it also helped to achieve the floating look of the pencil in space.
All of the videos on this type of refraction droplet photography will tell you to use water and a syringe or to add some glycerine. I found that using a aloe vera clear gel allowed me to create larger droplets which is a big advantage especially with this shot where I was not able to get in ultra close.
The LED panel behind created the lighting for the flags which I positioned by hand as both flags were on small sticks. The Union Jack and Spanish Flags I shot separately and then I combined in processing.
Focus was quite critical as my depth of field was fairly limited as I was also shooting fairly wide. To get the right amount of light on the pencil I used my Profoto B10 and a snoot directly on to the pencil.
It was important to have the flags within the image to let the viewer know that this was indeed a refracted image in the 'water' droplet. I did try without the flags in the background but it was far less impactful. However, to stop the flags from competing with the droplets the flags needed to be out of focus.
I then further created separation from the droplets by adding during post processing a graduated blue. The image was created using a mainly blue palette.
I think that gives a reasonable overview any other questions just post below and I will get back to you.
Today I found CAM Witch & Cat set at Target. I'm really in love with the witch, although I did paint her left eye blue and her right eye green. I also added the green heart on her chest. I'm planning on repainting the CaM cat...I don't think she's pretty.
I thought having a container labeled "Wish Dust" would add to her witch character nicely :)

I spent more time in Vietnam than any other country I visited in Southeast Asia because I found the country fascinating, photogenic and frustrating.
Let’s focus on the photogenic part.
Mui Ne is not only known for its amazing coastline, but also for its rich red sand dunes. The coastal charms of Mui Ne was a direct contrast to the motorbike filled concrete jungle of Saigon.
In Mui Ne I enjoyed great weather, great beaches and the photogenic sand dunes. You can read about how I captured this scene from this previous post Good Morning Vietnam!
Check back for more of my adventures in Vietnam!
Happy Travels!

On January 27th, I was part of a panel that had a great discussion on the continuing fight for trans military service at the Creating Change Conference. Though we were preaching mostly to the choir, there was some good discussion about how we got here, the value of allies, and what comes now.
The conference was so large, with 32 workshops happening at once, that the choices people had to make to pick what to attend must have been incredibly difficult. Wish I could have seen more of it and met more of the amazing people there!
The pictures at the event were pretty low quality, so here's one from home.
Adams County was created on April 2, 1799, from part of Pickering Territorial County. The county was organized eighteen years before Mississippi became a state and was the first to be organized in the former Mississippi Territory. It is named for the second President of the United States, John Adams, who held that office when the county was organized. Adams County is part of the Natchez micropolitan area which consists of Adams County, Mississippi and Concordia Parish, Louisiana located on opposing sides of the Mississippi River. Five Mississippi governors have come from Adams County: David Holmes, George Poindexter, John A. Quitman, Gerard Brandon, and William Allain. And in 1860, before the U.S. Civil War, Adams County was the richest county in the United States.
Above is the Adams County Courthouse located in Natchez, Mississippi, which is the county seat. Designed by William Stietenroth, the Natchez courthouse was built in 1821 and remodeled in 1925. The antebellum Adams County Courthouse, a brick Greek Revival structure, is part of the Natchez On-Top-Of-The-Hill Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1979 (and district boundary was increased on April 6, 2015).
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Sleeping Hermaphrodite - mid-2nd century AD - Palazzo Massimo alle Terme (National Roman Museum) - Rome
Adagiato ed in parte avvolto in un drappo, l'ermafrodito è colto mentre cambia posizione durante il sonno, rivelando così la sua duplice natura nella compresenza di caratteri sessuali maschili e femminili. La scultura è un'eccellente replica da un originale in bronzo di scuola microasiatica creato intorno alla metà del II secolo a.C.
Lying down and partly wrapped in a drape, the Hermaphrodite is caught while changing position during sleep, thus revealing a dual nature with both of male and female sexual characteristics. The sculpture is an excellent replica from an original bronze of micro-Asian school created around the middle of the 2nd century BC.
