Although the chosen image style was emoji-style, the succulents look interestingly realistic. This shows what strange plants they are and funnily gives a bonus for botanical accuracy.

That was very close to disqualification because of the implied Sailor Moon! 😄 But since it was essentially a beautiful mystical forest scene with full moon, definitely a worthy contender for the competition.

The magical light mood gives this picture something special in connection with the fog and the reflections in the water. Mysterious naked creatures… The other two images would also both have been very good contestants

This really demonstrates how lively the forest floor is, if you look closely enough. Nice.

Mononoke Hime - what more can you say! This captures the spirituality of the forest very well. Great prompting too. This could have given a bonus for outstanding prompt formulation (not in a technical but in a lyrical sense).

This is absolutely the most realistic picture of all contestants so you deserve the bonus for botanical (and zoological!) accuracy. I also liked that at the same time you have chosen impressionistic painting as a style and not imitated a photography.

This picture also deserves a bonus for originality: The Emulator - although everyone knows it, no one has seen it like this before!

Really lovely spring creatures, these foliage guys.

A beautiful, tranquil scenery with a really calm, meditative atmosphere and nice colours.

Who doesn’t like forest nymphs? They always seem to appear at the very last moment, just when you weren't expecting them anymore!

This isn't a problem if you're still using Windows 7! ;-)

Ok, I'm not sure myself how I would create a good Solarpunk scenery. I'll see if I can try later and then post something.

Maybe we need a Solarpunk Challenge here in the community?

This is more a utopian scenery than Solarpunk. It's pure optimism and depicting a seemingly perfect world. But Solarpunk isn't just a dream of a perfect society with some solar panels.

It's a positive picture that evokes happiness, for sure. But this image doesn't show the "Punk" part of Solarpunk, the spirit of rebellion and counterculture, grassroots activism, DIY ethics. It misses realism that transports the current state of the world with all its problems and difficulties into a setting of an eco-centric future with a sustainable civilization.

Man, Woman, Person, Camera, TV!

No, not really. Something with "insane" ok. But all these things depicted in the images for lyrics that are quite abstract?

House of the rising sun

I'm going slightly mad?

Wow, did not expect this. Thanks everybody! I already have an idea for the next round. Coming up soon!

Ok, I thought about this and decided to not continue the "theme is clear" points in the upcoming contest. And I'll try: Most upvoted +3, 2nd most upvoted +2, 3rd most upvoted +1 point. And: +1 point for the last TWO entries.

They sell ink for higher prices than champagne. And make it impossible to use third party ink.
