Looks good Paul but it's like real. I've heard of too much traffic to one site breaking the internet. This one breaks my brain.
Stunning lady though. Can any sharpness be added to the photo? just a touch of sharpness which is a feature on the image editing program called Gimp.

I also use Photoshop, but my aim is to get the look I want without using image editing software of any kind. You have to be careful not to make models look "too perfect" as well, otherwise they start looking like dolls, or cartoons, or ...well ...AI.  |

Ye true. Any image we see of a real person out in the world is never so perfect that it's like magazine cover ready. It can't be too polished.
Ive seen deep fakes that use, apparently, a search of thousands of photos of a person, to create a seamless stream of that person appearing to be saying things that the creator of the deep fake has selected.
With these AI creations won't deep fakes be even more limitless pretty soon?

It interprets the syllables and conforms the shape of the lips and tongue to match them completely independently of any other character animation |

Well, that's it, I've been awfully brave and entered my first contest. 10 images allowed, and the subjects are the four elements, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, plus "Elemental Master" where all four are combined in one image. I've entered two in each category, I've just finished "Earth" and uploaded my two pics so that's me done. I've been grafting for four days/nights straight.
I'm not getting my hopes up, there will be hundreds of entries, possibly thousands, from amateurs like me, to people who do this stuff for a living, but thought it would be fun to test myself. The contest runs to June 14th, when the judging begins. The 5 main categories are curated by the site staff, plus there are two community prizes. It's a long long time since I've entered an art contest of any kind.

Good luck with it, Paul.
Any chance of a competition link?

This is an entry for the fire category that I ultimately rejected.  |

Any 'fires at the battle of Verdun' in that pile of considerations Paul?

Any 'fires at the battle of Verdun' in that pile of considerations Paul? Nope, just the fires raging in the battleground that is my mind.  |

Pretty cool Paul. I would literally bet money that if the blurring/autofocus was reduced on that wall to her left and right a lot of people couldn't distinguish that from a photo of a real person standing there.

I think the Honourable Mention - Water by Ethanar easily beats all the others.
Some of the entries are a bit childhood fantasy illustrator material.

Air and Fire are my favorite. Fire looks like a WW1 scene.
