This image represents an amalgam between photography and AI. One of the highlights of my Indonesia photo tour is an incredible costumed parade. Young people show off their outrageous, colorful costumes and face decorations as they dance to disco music all through the city of Jember. I took one of my favorite pictures from the parade -- a telephoto shot of a young girl wearing blue contact lenses and with a face painted like a mannequin -- and imported it into Midjourney. In the prompts, after pasting in the URL of the image, I added the words: "embellish this image artistically". The result doesn't look like the original; instead, this is AI's artistic interpretation which used my shot as the 'inspiration'. Midjourney doesn't offer the ability to make selections and composite photographs like Photoshop does. It's a different type of creative tool.
