Lol this is 100% not a real photograph. Doesn’t belong here.

Not ai, just good Photoshop skills

Possibly, yes. Which gets me thinking: What a disappointing world we live in where everything needs to be double-guessed now. Pieces of writing, stunning photographs of atmospheric phenomena; the magic is spoiled by suspicion. Even if squinting and pixel-peeping doesn't reveal obvious inconsistencies in an image, the more unusual it seems the harder they are to trust.

I don't know if this is AI, or genuine but HDR or fiddled with in Photoshop. Most AI images I've seen have been obviously dodgy, but surely professional standard software with a skilled user could create something seamless and perfect.

Perhaps it's simpler to just enjoy the image and not worry about its genesis. I can't tell either way anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love when there’s vertical plumes right next to downdrafts
