The still life has fewer fruits

#### `--no` vs. Don't

The Midjourney Bot considers any word within the prompt as something you would like to see generated in the final image. Prompting `still life gouache painting without any fruit` or `still life gouache painting dont add fruit!` are *more* likely to produce pictures that include fruits because the relationship between "without" or "don't" and the "fruit" is not interpreted by the Midjourney Bot in the same way a human reader would understand it. To improve your results, focus your prompt on what you do want to see in the image and use the "--no" parameter to specify concepts you don't want to include.

### Multi Prompting

The `--no` parameter is the same as weighing part of a multi prompt to "-.5" `still life gouache painting:: fruit::-.5` is the same as `still life gouache painting --no fruit`.
