Very cool and dramatic creations, Peter. I love the two creative plane photos.
I am torn by the AI manipulations, though, and feel that they may make or break me for my love of Photography.
Using the editing software to tweak photographs is one thing. I strongly felt that it was an acceptable practice to boost colors, sharpen focus points, etc., darkroom adjustments. But AI is more like painting a photo, you add elements that were never in the original composition by filling a text box with a word or phrase.
We sure have moved quickly from the arrival of SKY replacements to the creations I see on the pages of FLICKR now. It is like looking at computer-generated movies.
