Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Leya: Magical.
For me, nature needs nothing added to it for that magical touch; simply a new day, golden sun & a hint of mist to soften the reflections & scene.

The addition of mist to any scene creates an instant magical glow.






Trees, wooded glades & wee lochans easily become enchanted places in the minds eye.







Leya talked about the use of filters & one-click presets to add magical touches to our photography; I’ve taken this one step further. I’m currently working on what is called prompt engineering within ChatGPT’s Hod Mod to create artwork based on my own photos. These are some results of magical transformations of my photography.
You’ve probably been expecting him to turn up & here he is; Lensy already adds his own magic to many scenes, but this can be taken further with the right prompts. This first shot of him sitting on a mossy branch in a wooded glade has been modified with the addition of magical runes.
Staying with Lensy, this shot has him sitting below Clackmannan Tower; I’ve re-imagined this setting into a magical winter wonderland.
Surrounded by serenity in this next shot, I’ve enhanced the shot with the addition of more trees & mist softened reflections; I’ve tried to keep the lighting quality similar, but with the addition of a clear picture within Lensy.
This final one sees the autumn woodland setting transformed into an enchanted forest with the addition of a mythical beast, only visible through Lensy.
Great to hear your thoughts!
