> Several visual cues suggest this is likely AI-generated or a heavily composited image rather than a straight photograph. The sun is an almost perfectly uniform, razor‑edged circle with an unusually even orange-to-red gradient and no realistic atmospheric scattering or lens bloom where it meets the tree—real telephoto sun shots still show subtle irregularities, diffraction, and glare. The silhouette of the tree is extremely crisp and the branches inside the glowing disk seem uniformly lit in a way that looks artificially blended; there are tiny halo/edge artifacts where dark twigs intersect the bright circle. The foreground and distant treeline have an inconsistent depth and fog behavior (soft, low‑contrast mist that doesn’t interact naturally with the intense backlight), and the color saturation/contrast is pushed to a stylized level common in generative images. That said, the branching patterns are complex and plausible, so a highly edited photo or composite is also possible, but overall the pattern of perfect geometry, uniform lighting, and subtle edge artifacts point toward AI generation.
Definitely fake. The sun (or moon) never looks even close to that big in photos. Looks sick though.

THANK YOU! I have been looking for a backdrop for a compass tattoo for 3 years. This is perfect! I will use a “tree of life pic I took in Costa Rica, but the template for the artist is exactly what I have been looking for.

Nice picture regardless but definitely AI, *in my human opinion*. Never seen a sun so big.

This is so fucking beautiful (hope it’s not ai)
Amazing!
Looks like the back of the eyeball…

Is this your photo?
Ooh 😍
Wow 😳

This is a amazing picture
Looks like something out of Stranger Things.
That is a great shot. Wonder who took it.
Fake AF but cool
According to https://arting.ai/ai-image-detector, there’s a 78% chance it’s AI.

But https://isgen.ai/ai-image-detector says it’s 100% human. 🤣
And https://www.reversely.ai/ai-image-detector/ also says there’s a 70.38% chance that it’s human.
Stunning
I’m calling bullshit on this.
Getting strong Watership Down vibes.

This is a magnificent shot.
