I thought this was going to be fairly easy, but it ended up being a lot more difficult than I thought it should be. I placed a slice of orange on my light pad to take the photo. Then in PS I selected each orange section and changed the hue and saturation. My goal was to create a mini color wheel. I clipped each hue and saturation adjustment to each orange section that I had selected creating many layers. Then I cropped to square and added a colorful stroke around the image.

I've been playing with Imagine some more. Trying to see how the various sliders affect the final result.
If you enter a Seed number (ie 1234) and don't change the prompts you'll keep getting the same result.
Changing the CFG scale slider from the default of 3 to a max of 15 gives a simplified variation on the original image.
If you change only the aspect ratio (from 1:1 to 4:3) then you get quite a new result.
I find that a lot of the AI results seem random, well it is bc it uses a random seed each time. But by understanding how the sliders work maybe there can be a bit of control of the final result. If I randomly get something interesting then I'll reuse that seed and vary the other parameters to see what happens.
So many possibilities!

Our bench sits on a meditation area called The Eye of the Raven. It was snowing - so this is cold and gray. In Photoshop I added a layer and pained a multi-colored gradient - blended that with a blending mode (I think Overlay), and then reduced the opacity a bit. I think it looks altered, but not crazy altered. I wanted to see the details and also preserve the snowflakes. I shot this with my 600mm from our breakfast table.

I enjoy seeing the curve of the pages and the repetition of that shape. Edited in Prisma app with Huawei HiAI.
