    Culzean Castle Wisteria: Captivating Floral Photography and Castle Vistas — FOTD Aug 09

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings

    These wisteria were growing in the grounds of Culzean Castle.

    Having got the look I wanted, I used the AI prompts to add sweeping driveways, Gothic-style alterations to the castle, stormy weather & sunrise… enjoy

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings

    This charming bouquet sits at the top of the grand staircase in Culzean Castle.

    I’ve done a few AI edits for this beautiful bouquet (carousel). I prompted the AI to keep the bouquet the same as in the picture & place it in a grand entrance-way of a stately castle/mansion. The next part of the prompt was to change the style of the setting. I went through various styles: Scots Baronial, Art Deco, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Art Noveau, Baroque & finally turned the grand building into a derelict… enjoy
