You are referring to this as an entry in a contest, but you must have done a mistake ? I totally agree that this is a stunning scene, but as you know, almost too easy to do.

Needless to say that everything is of course working, so it is indeed a pleasure to view.

Hi Annie, this was meant for the Birds of your country contest but I messed up.
I am having this internal battle with AI art. One one hand it is easy to create with often stunning results, but too easy? On the other hand it is a one of a kind image that is beautiful to look at and never existed before. I think AI art is going to be a fact of life and a legit genre going forward, just as self driving cars and robotics.
Some on FAR have encouraged me to continue with this genre and some have not. I am in the middle right now. ???????

Personally I wish it had never turned up. Because also I like these pictures, but they don't tell anything about the artist's skills. I would never advice you cut out AI. It is all up to you, and the best is probably to do a bit of each.

Hi Allan, You certainly picked a regal subject for your AI work! The eagle is stunning! Love what your imagination conjured up. AI might have created this but your imagination set the tones for it. Thank you for sharing! I'll always be a fan of your painting skills AI or not! :o) Nancy

Oh my goodness, you are so kind! You have a way with words, definitely multi-talened!

I am glad you are encouraging AI art, I just have to get used to it after 40 years of my NI art (no intelligence). :)

Thanks for the high rating and encouragement!

WOW! I love the scene and all the elements of your composition, especially the eagle with its wingspan, the snow-capped mountain the the misty tranquil lake filled with evergreen. Great realistic concept. High on substance and technical skills in creating digital artwork.

Thanks again soulfeeder for you support. This is an AI image and they always seem to be 10 times better than my digital brush work, and less time to create!
