Hi everyone!
What does your perfect lakeside moment look like?
This week, we’re inviting artists and dreamers to create a visual story inspired by the timeless beauty of the lakeside. Whether it’s a quiet sunrise over misty waters, a moonlit night under the stars, or a fantastical realm where glowing creatures dance on the waves. We want to see your vision.
The Prompt I used: A serene lakeside at golden hour. Calm water reflects a pastel sky, bordered by tall pines and wildflowers. A cozy cabin nestles near a wooden dock, with a rowboat drifting nearby. Mist rises from the lake, mountains loom in the distance, and birds soar above in peaceful stillness.

I find this hilarious... My prompt was "Create a calming scene of a merman on a lake with cotton candy trees and candy floating in the sky. Make the image masculine."

Prompt: Photorealistic National Geographic–style image with a perfectly horizontal waterline dividing the scene into two distinct realms within a single frame: above the water, a pristine alpine lake stretches toward towering, jagged granite peaks bathed in soft pink and amber light of early dawn, delicate silver mist drifting over wildflower meadows and wind-bent pines along the rocky shoreline. Below the water, crystal-clear lake depths reveal a massive trout gliding just above a bed of smooth river stones, its speckled scales dappled with dancing shafts of morning light filtering through the surface, subtle ripples creating shimmering patterns across its body and the lakebed. Wide-angle composition from water level, emphasizing the seamless connection between the vast mountain landscape and the tranquil underwater world. Cool dawn palette of icy blues, silver highlights, and blush pinks, cinematic wilderness realism, atmosphere of stillness and awe.
Content Type: Photo.
Theme: Hyper realistic.

Absolutely stunning, the split perspective captures both the grandeur above and the hidden beauty below with breathtaking clarity.

In a world where the pine forests gleam,
Lies the hush of a lakeside daydream.
With reflections so bright,
Bathed in soft golden light,
It’s a painting that flows like a stream.

A haunting lakeside at twilight. The sky burns in deep amber and bruised violet, but the water reflects a different sky — pale greenish clouds swirl above an unseen moon, hinting at another world below. Jagged mountains loom on the horizon, sharp like teeth. A small wooden rowboat floats near the center of the lake, with claw marks scratched deep into its side. Just beneath the surface, a shadowy siren with glowing eyes and tangled dark hair watches silently, her form barely visible. Twisted pine trees line the shore, their shapes distorted by the creeping mist. The air is unnaturally still, as if something ancient waits just beneath the calm.

Incredible visual

This is another take from the same prompt. The reflection is much better although the composition is a bit off considering the anole isn't sitting on the shore. But the beauty of art sometimes rests on its abstractions.

Concept: To make a vintage-style film photograph of a couple in a canoe on a lake in the Florida Everglades. I imagine this as a treasured photograph of a couple that is now old, and to lean into the nostalgia and imperfection of old family photos.
Prompt: "Vintage Film Photography of a Florida Lake in the everglades, surrounded by large Cypress Trees and Mangrove trees with large roots in the water. Add a canoe in the middle of the lake out of focus, with a man and woman paddling romantically into the lake. Make this a very old camera, vintage-style, grainy, film photo as if the photo was from the 1940's in Florida"
Camera Angle - Wide Angle,
Effects - Antique Photo, Nostalgia

The upper half is the sky. The lower half is the lake. Beautiful blue sky and clouds. Surrounded by mountains, trees, and flowers, the lake is clear and fish swim in the quiet waves.
