This was at a photography contest. In the description the alleged artist said they did it in photo shop. The lighting has the ai style to it. Especially the camp fire wood and the butterfly's are inconsistent. A part of wants this to not be AI but I think it is.
Edit: one thing I forgot to add, where this was held was by the same people who holds our Comic Expo. My friend who is a regular vendor there in the artist alley complained this year that there was A LOT of ai slop. The venue has a strict "no ai" policy so she reported the people for having it. In response the convention said along the lines "we believe in the integrity of artists, you have to check a box off saying you didnt use ai. So if you said its not ai, its not ai"
