Pay attention. That is a crop of one of the AI images created by the prior poster.

I haven't been following this whole thread but often do creative editing of my photographs and have won several creative photo contests (using editing tools without any AI input). Sometimes I make pencil, charcoal or pen and ink versions of photos.

Interested in what you might get with one theme I've used a few times, though I only once ever shared one of the images and got an immediate response of "That's disturbing", which was my intent - a beautiful girl, made surreal and ghostly, then blood-splattered.

Inb4 bodies in basement. Don't have a basement, must be in the storage shed. As far as I am aware they are all still alive and well, and one is at this very moment observing a brain surgery as a soon-to-be doctor.

You should start on a big diorama of destroyed Russian armor and vehicles and two Ukrainian infantrymen with a shoulder-fired AT weapon. Have they started bringing T-34s out of mothballs?

Great work as always.

Voted for you. Maybe you liked the gloominess due to the overcast sky, but I would have preferred bringing out some of the detail. I also liked the egrets because I understand how difficult it can be to get BIF. Good luck.

Quick edit:

I was sitting a few feet away from Foxes and Fossils during the recordings of several of their posted YouTube videos. Met Tim's wife and Maggie's parents. Nice folks. Live shows will be coming soon.

Have had a drink with Ksenia Buzina and Leonid and Friends a couple times. She is not only gorgeous, but also one of the most interesting women on the planet. Speaks seven languages fluently and has a university degree in Law and International Economics. Leonid's son Roman was educated in the West and speaks English fluently. Gave me comp tickets to one of their concerts.

The Friday Babe Thread - "Hello Autumn" - NSFW

DReb, thanks for the distraction, as usual. I hope this does not mean only sweater threads until Spring! The three Bs (Boobs, Butts and Bikinis) are needed more than ever during Winter. Like HOF baseball legend Rogers Hornsby said when asked what he did in the off-season, "I sit and look out the window and wait for Spring." But leather jackets with bras and skirts is always an interesting look. I've given away several jackets and still have a couple in the wardrobe for future use. Geaux Tigers!

Anyone that focuses that much on being "attractive" likely leads a pretty sad life internally.


Anyone who focuses that much on being "attractive" should figure out that you don't get there by plastering on makeup and posing for overly worked over photos.

Having known and photographed attractive young ladies, the simplest answer is that some of them don't have the mental thought processes to "figure out that you don't get there" or even where the "there" goal may be, other than to be seen as attractive by others. I've known young models who were clinically narcissistic and under psychiatric care from the age of ten. Trying to enlighten them in the slightest is as ineffective as pointing out actual facts to committed political supporters or religious extremists. On the other hand, I have known some who were remarkably unaffected by their beauty and have gone on to become worthwhile individuals (scientists and doctors).

Makeup has been around for thousands of years, and women can be indoctrinated at early ages. I watched studio HAMU artists work on my preteen daughter before photo shoots and fashion shows. It can enhance natural beauty or in the cases you point out, cause generic mannequin-like loss of individual identity.

A bit of trivia:

A member of Hood's Texas Brigade from Houston was Sgt. Russell C. Mitchell, who was wounded at Antietam. Afterwards, he was detailed to a hospital in Atlanta for the duration of the hostilities, and remained there after the war. His first hand accounts of the evacuation of Atlanta and the conditions in that city induced his granddaughter to write a famous Civil War novel - "Gone With The Wind", by Margaret Mitchell.
