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!
Prompt: Setting: a beautiful summer day, a patchwork quilt placed on the ground beside a magnificent lake, beautiful woodland all around, fruits and champaign in a wicker picnic basket sitting on the quilt; a couple enjoying the day sitting on the ground
Prompt: An older couple enjoying sandwiches near a dutch canal with a distant windmill in the background. They are seated on a bench. View of the camera is over the shoulder from behind.
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.

You can almost hear the bagpipes skirling in the distance 🙂
A whimsical magical summer picnic scene at a serene lake, illustrated in a dreamy storybook art style. A red and white checkered picnic blanket spread on lush emerald grass near the water's edge, laden with an enchanted feast: wicker basket overflowing with golden bread, colorful fruits that seem to glow softly, glass bottles containing sparkling beverages with tiny floating lights inside. Delicate fairy lights strung between nearby willow trees create dappled magical illumination. Fireflies dance in the warm golden hour sunlight filtering through the canopy. A family of friendly woodland creatures - rabbits, squirrels, and a wise owl - gather around the blanket as invited guests. Crystal-clear lake reflects the cotton candy clouds and shows glimpses of friendly fish swimming beneath lily pads. A small wooden rowboat with flower garlands tied to the oars rests gently at a tiny dock. Butterflies with iridescent wings flutter overhead while dandelion seeds drift like tiny parachutes in the gentle breeze.
Magical summer picnic at serene lake, storybook illustration style. Red checkered blanket, wicker basket, glowing fairy lights in willow trees, friendly woodland animals, fireflies, crystal lake with lily pads, warm golden hour lighting, whimsical and enchanting
This is the prompt I used: "Summer Picnic at the Lake in the North, on a beautiful white embroidered tissu, with vegetables, fruits, cheese and bread"
Whith this prompt, a composition ref., and two effect styles (Nostalgic + Conceptual art) I get two interesting answers.
A first one, very "Summer" and another (that I'm sharing just after) very "Halloween", isn't it funny?
Prompt: "A peaceful outdoor picnic scene by a serene lake under a partly cloudy sky. Two people, a woman in a long floral dress with a straw hat and sunglasses, and a man in a brown shirt and light blue pants, are sitting on a light blue picnic blanket spread over green grass. They are clinking glasses in a celebratory toast. The blanket is beautifully arranged with wooden trays, sandwiches, fresh strawberries, snacks, flowers, and a wicker picnic basket. Nearby, two retro-style bicycles with bright blue frames and tan seats are parked by the path next to the lake. In the background, the lake reflects soft daylight, surrounded by tall green trees, and a small bridge is visible. The lighting is natural and soft, typical of an overcast midday with scattered sunlight filtering through the clouds. The image is shot at eye level with a wide-angle perspective to include the full picnic setup, the couple, the bicycles, and the scenic nature in the background. The colors are warm and vintage-toned, giving it a cozy, nostalgic feel."

Absolutely love this. Prompt: An artistic, surreal summer picnic by a dreamy lake on an alien planet. Strange but beautiful flora surrounds the area, with two moons in the sky and alien creatures resembling amphibians and insects sharing a meal on patterned blankets. The lake has an iridescent glow, and the food is made of floating orbs and glowing leaves. Pastel color palette, dreamy atmosphere, and fantasy-art style.
