Post 60 - It’s the weekend, Idiom of the Day
Head buried in the sand
Prompt generated in Perplexity, modified a bit and then passed of to ChatGPT, image shown was second attempt, didn't like the first one!
Prompt:
Create an abstract photo-realistic landscape format image that visually represents the idiom "head buried in the sand". The image should convey the concept of willful ignorance or avoidance.
Key elements to include:
* A stylized human head or face, partially submerged or obscured
* A sense of the head being surrounded by and sinking into the sand
Artistic direction:
* Create a sense of movement and depth with the sand elements swirling around or over the head
The final image should be an eye-catching, thought-provoking visual metaphor that clearly communicates the "head buried in the sand" concept in an photorealistic way. Prioritize a strong composition and symbolic representation over literal details. The image should work well as a stand-alone piece and be adaptable for use in digital or print formats.
