A group of Scottish friends sitting by a loch. They are having a picnic with Scottish food.

You can almost hear the bagpipes skirling in the distance 🙂

Best regards, Euan.

Golden hour photograph, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamín Franklin enjoying a picnic on top of a hill, relaxed and smiling around a blanket spread with sandwich baskets and orange juice, shot from a natural eye-level angle; background reveals a scenic landscape with a large lagoon, lifestyle photography style.

Prompt: Surreal, photorealistic. A photorealistic image of humans with heads like ants that are smiling and very happy having a picnic of pizza and beer on a checkered sheet near a scenic lake. There is a severe hurricane with heavy rain and lightning going on and there is barely any sunlight.

Effects: Surrealism, Hyper Realistic and Fantasy

An earlier generation from a very similar prompt was used as a Composition Reference. I did try to get a trail of tiny humans walking single file going for the pizza but it wasn't working out.

Interesting comparing the models using the same prompt: Terrified family running around franticly being chased by a swarm of insects at a family picnic by the edge of a lake, one person is jumping in to the water, sunny day with mountains in the distance

Image 1 is Firefly, Image 2 is Open AI, Image 3 is Google.
Open AI got it firrst time, this was pretty much what I was after. Firefly faces were all distorted, missing limbs and people jumping out of the water!

By the lake where the butterflies play,
We picnic in sunshine all day.
With fruit piled high,
And boats drifting by,
It’s a golden and laughter-filled stay.
