How to use this prompt
"Dissolve into mist before reaching the clouds" is the illusion-keeper — without it DALL·E grounds the waterfalls on a landscape below and the islands stop floating. "At different heights" prevents the islands lining up in a flat row like stepping stones across the frame. DALL·E follows the enumeration reliably (temple on the largest island, bridges between the smaller two), so rearrange features by editing the list rather than regenerating blind. If the cloud sea turns into ordinary ocean, restate it as "an unbroken cloud layer far below, no ground visible".
Variations to try
- Storm version — "islands silhouetted against towering thunderheads, waterfalls whipped sideways by the wind, lightning flickering below the cloud sea"
- Inhabited version — add "terraced farms and windmills on the middle island, a small airship moored to a wooden dock"
