Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.
I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these frosty days.
My FOTD posts for the next few days will be bright & cheerful sunflowers ?

Any of you following my blog, will know I’m currently working on a project fusing my own photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series: https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2023/12/11/from-photos-to-fantasies-exploring-ai-art-manipulation-in-my-fan-of-series/
I thought I’d do a bit of creative artwork with the image above. I’ve been experimenting with different settings for the sunflower, & decided this time to go with a moonscape. For once, my prompt engineering gave the result I was aiming for first time ? Enjoy ?

When I look at each new sunflower creation, I’m wondering how it manages to keep its petals looking so pretty and fresh.
Like a woman trying to keep her hairdo in shape on a busy windy day.
I kept it as part of the prompt to keep the sunflower pristine; I can make it more wilted & old looking, but that doesn’t fit the look I’m going for at the moment.
Wow!
Both are amazingly wonderful, Jez ?
Thank you so much, Hammad ?
