    Siberian Irises & Coastal Scots Baronial-Style Architecture — FOTD Jul 24

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

    Some more Siberian irises from the gardens at Rabbie Burns’ Cottage.

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    Again, I’ve done some cumulative transformations based on the Scots Baronial-style architecture. This time, I started out with the irises in the foreground, a Scots Baronial-style building in the distance, all set in a coastal landscape.

    For today, I’ve done some cumulative transformations based on the Scots Baronial-style architecture. I’ve started off with a basic setting change, then added into the prompt a nighttime winter setting & finally, dawn with the sun’s first rays starting to melt the frost on the irises… enjoy

    I was inspired by Karen’s FOTD yesterday, where she shows a wider shot of the flowers setting & then close-ups of the flowers. I used AI to create a setting of raised beds in a market garden for these fragrant wee beauties … enjoy
