Is this the guy? me no speaky German

I have some familiarity with photoshop and what puts me off about this image is the noisyness the look of digital compression artefacting, the lack of a delineation between the foreground and the background. Its too perfect. For example, zoom in on the boarder between the warm/cool sky in your butterfly image from a couple years ago. The. check out the difference between that and the boarder between the warm and cool sky in this image, there is n't a distinct line, it blends in in a very natural photographic looking way that seems almost impossible. Hopefully your feelings are not hurt by my judgement. I'm pretty much a nobody, don't worry about me. But I stand by it, this piece was totally generated via ai.

I agree

What I am saying is, if this is not AI then you are a photoshop god. Take it as a compliment.

Like If I worked out natty and people started accusing me of steroids usage, I would be flattered.

The blue touches in the gash on his back, and the perfect transition between the hair and the background, give it away. I'm calling ai on this one.

still a cool work of art though
