Mike those are awesome, I like the one with a reindeer driving 'how ironic', a few days ago I tried to get a picture of a Pontiac sleigh getting pulled by reindeer, it's very hard to get the exact image you want or even something close. If, and that's a big if, you get the car you want, you don't get the reindeer, or they're in the wrong place or somethings off and it's just not a good rendering. It's always something... and the more words or specific you try to get, often the worse the results are.

The description for all those previous images I posted was "1972 Olds 442 Rat Rod in the driveway" nothing else. Sometimes things in your recent descriptions will bleed over. I'm pretty sure that's a gnome in the last image, I googled Gandolph and got - "Did you mean: Gandalf", Wikipedia said he's a wizard character from the Hobbit?

A small deviation in description can change the entire result, as an example RatRod instead of Rat Rod. If I don't use something like "in the driveway" to bring it back to earth, it starts adding totally outrages renditions of gargoyles, skeletons or monsters in all sorts of settings, however though better to be a little vague than over descriptive.

I've found simple terms keep it in bounds and less likely outside the realm of what you want. Black and white images can appear more authentic too but the wording matters, if you want a black and white car, enter "white and black" or it's likely just to give you a black and white image. You can also manipulate it to a degree.

Just to show an idea of what I'm trying to explain and what usually happens, this is a scenario I seem to get
allot when trying to get good lifelike images starting with no background or Rat/Hot Rod terms used.
It can be quite peculiar if you allow it to generate the background, here is "1972 Olds 442" in the description.


Well that didn't turn out like I thought lol, obviously a malfunction due to the drive-in background setting.
But this just goes to show how peculiar and random it can be, also notice the water color tone.




Now add "Rat Rod in the driveway" to the description and poof! Not sure why but the realism is evident.




Now I've taken "in the driveway" out, so it gives me a random background but the realism stayed, because of
"Rat Rod" still in the description and the prior 'recent' description which you can turn off.




I changed nothing in the next one and it gave me a random background again but the lifelike quality of the
picture is starting to fade. If not for "Rat Rod" in the description it probably would have turned to water color.




With "in the driveway" back in the description I get the more realistic image back. Now I might let it give me
a random background again just to see what comes up, it's a always a crap shoot anyway.
