Found an interesting prompt involving an above/below water scene, started tinkering with it. First I tried disheveled people on a rickety raft. Decided that I wanted something more peaceful above, tried for a man fishing with his kids, but it mangles fishing poles so I went with just in a boat. Tried for realistic photos but I couldn’t get decent faces so I went with the style of Normon Rockwell.
Summary
A hyper-realistic extreme wide-angle photo taken with an iphone 15. A split-view of a crudely constructed log raft on the ocean. Two people sit huddled on the raft, a man and a woman. Both wear badly tattered, worn, dirty clothes and have long, messily tangled hair. The man has a disheveled beard. They are gaunt and dejected. The sky is blue with scattered wispy clouds and the sun high in the sky. The scene above the water takes up a third of the image.
The bottom two-thirds of the image are below the waterline, the underwater scene is teeming with terrifying life. Sharks, sawfish, jellyfish, blobfish, and other indescribable sea monsters swim among jagged coral reefs in bright, crystal-clear, deep blue water. The lighting captures the surreal contrast between the calm above and the nightmare marine ecosystem below, blending both realms into one composition.

A hyper-realistic extreme wide-angle dslr photo taken with an iphone 15. A split-view of a small rowboat on the ocean. A man and two children (a boy and a girl, around 10 years old) are sitting in the boat. The sky is blue with scattered wispy clouds and the sun high in the sky. The scene above the water takes up a third of the image.
The bottom two-thirds of the image are below the waterline. A large great white shark is swimming under the boat in bright, crystal-clear, deep blue water. The lighting captures the surreal contrast between the calm above and the terrifying shark below, blending both realms into one composition.

The original prompt I modified
Summary
A hyperrealistic, fantastical split-view of a tiny tropical island at sunset. The island is a small, perfectly round sandbar surrounded by gentle rippling water. A cozy thatched-roof hut with two lounge chairs and several tall palm trees sits on the island, bathed in golden-orange sunlight from a vivid sunset. The sky transitions into a star-filled night sky with the Milky Way streaking dramatically upward from the horizon. A sailboat is visible in the distance on the calm sea.
Below the waterline, the underwater scene is vibrant and teeming with life. Brightly colored tropical fish swim among vivid coral reefs in crystal-clear, deep blue water. The coral is richly detailed in shades of purple, red, and orange, forming a lush seascape. The lighting captures the surreal contrast between the calm, magical sunset above and the thriving, colorful marine ecosystem below, blending both realms into one cohesive and dreamlike composition.
