Geometric Composition

Text-to-Image

“A glass cube on a wooden table. Inside the cube is a small blue sphere. On top of the cube sits a red book. A green plant is behind the cube, partially visible through the glass. Soft window light from the left.”

Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent lighting and shadow work on the wooden table
  • + The blue sphere has a pleasingly smooth, satin finish
  • + The glass cube looks thick and realistic with accurate light refraction
  • The plant is behind the cube but the pot appears to be partially merged with it
  • The blue sphere is floating rather than sitting on the surface

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Perfect adherence to all spatial relationships in the prompt
  • + Highly realistic textures on the distressed wooden table
  • + Accurate depiction of the plant seen through the glass
  • The blue sphere has a slightly marbled texture rather than being a solid small sphere
  • The reflection of the sphere on the bottom of the cube is slightly misaligned

Verdict: Both models followed the complex spatial prompt very well. Wan 2.1 Pro is the winner because it successfully placed the plant behind the glass cube while maintaining clear visual separation between the objects, whereas Qwen Image Max struggled with the plant pot's placement relative to the cube. Wan 2.1 Pro also provided a more convincing 'used' wooden table texture and realistic window lighting.

Fantasy Warrior

Text-to-Image

“Close portrait of a battle-worn paladin in ornate engraved plate armor, hair braided with small beads, faint scars and dirt on the skin, warm torchlight reflecting off metal, shallow depth of field, bokeh sparks, lifelike eyes, highly detailed texture on leather straps and cloth underlayer.”

Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent character expression and weathered skin texture
  • + High level of detail on the engraved armor and worn leather straps
  • + Effective use of warm lighting and bokeh to create atmosphere
  • The sparks look a bit like static dots rather than glowing embers
  • Transitions between the hair beads and the face are slightly cluttered

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Very realistic lighting and skin rendering
  • + Clearer depiction of the braided hair with beads as requested
  • + Natural-looking bokeh and fire placement in the background
  • Slightly less 'battle-worn' appearance compared to Model A
  • The armor engraving is a bit smoother and less detailed than Image A

Verdict: Both models followed the prompt exceptionally well. Qwen Image Max captures a more intense, 'battle-worn' character with grit and complex armor textures, while Wan 2.1 Pro delivers a cleaner, more photographically realistic image with superior lighting and clear braids. Wan 2.1 Pro is the likely winner for its more natural composition and lifelike facial rendering.

Magic Burger Explosion: Fiery Photorealism Challenge

Text-to-Image

“Ad for 'Magic Burger'. Dynamic, exploded burger with all components (bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce) suspended in mid-air. Emphasize photorealistic detail and a sense of motion. Dark, fiery background with glowing embers. Integrate text: 'MAGIC BURGER' as a prominent title, 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' as a secondary message, and '€6.99' in a starburst, all rendered with a fiery, glowing effect.”

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent typography with a realistic fiery texture.
  • + Highly detailed food textures, particularly the grilled patty and fresh lettuce.
  • + Stronger cohesive composition that feels like a professional fast-food advertisement.
  • The 'exploded' effect is less literal, with components still mostly touching.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Perfect literal interpretation of an 'exploded' view with components clearly separated.
  • + Clean, high-quality rendering of individual food items.
  • + Good use of sparks and embers for background atmosphere.
  • Failed to include the required 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' and '€6.99' text.
  • The main title text is flat and lacks the requested 'fiery effect'.
  • The bottom bun looks slightly repetitive in texture compared to the top.

Verdict: Qwen Image Max is the clear winner because it successfully integrated all requested text and price elements into a polished, professional advertisement. While Wan 2.7 Pro did a better job with the 'exploded' physics of the burger components, it failed to follow the instructions regarding the secondary text and the specific fiery effects on the typography.

The Capybara Taxi Driver

Text-to-Image

“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”

Qwen Image Max
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent interior detail with realistic wear and tear on the taxi ceiling
  • + Strong focus on the capybara's expression and lighting
  • + Captures the bored expression of the passenger perfectly in the background
  • The capybara's paws look somewhat like human hands with hair
  • The perspective makes the capybara appear extremely large relative to the car interior

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Followed the driver cap style more closely with a professional uniform look
  • + Good lighting on the subject and clear inclusion of the businesswoman looking at her phone
  • + Realistic fur texture on the capybara
  • The passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat instead of the 'back seat' as requested
  • The composition feels slightly more like a side-on photo than being 'inside' the scene
  • Hands/paws look more like primate hands than capybara paws

Verdict: Qwen Image Max followed the spatial prompt instructions much better by placing the passenger in the back seat, whereas Wan 2.1 Pro placed her in the front next to the driver. Qwen Image Max also captured a more immersive 'inside the taxi' feel with superior interior textures and a better portrayal of the requested bored expression.

The Halloween Invitation

Text-to-Image

“Vintage gothic Halloween party invitation. Dark parchment poster, spooky border with webs and thorns, central glowing jack-o-lantern, bats, twisted trees, moody night sky. Add elegant gothic title text saying "Halloween Party Invitation", a small scroll banner saying "You are invited to a night of frights", and event details at the bottom: Date: 30.10.2026 Time: 7pm Location: The Arches, NYC Spooky but polished, cinematic lighting, square format.”

Qwen Image Max
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent typography and readability
  • + Strong cinematic lighting with high contrast
  • + Very faithful adherence to the twisted trees and thorns description
  • Composition feels slightly crowded with the large title and scroll
  • Layout is more like a collage than a unified poster design

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Beautifully balanced illustration with a clear sense of depth
  • + Excellent integration of text and graphical elements within a border
  • + Crisp, clean rendering of small details like bats and lanterns
  • Colors are a bit more vibrant/warm than 'dark and moody'
  • The scroll banner is slightly less stylized compared to Model A

Verdict: Both models followed the complex prompt perfectly, including accurate text rendering for the event details. Qwen Image Max has a more traditional 'dark' cinematic feel with better gothic font choices, while Wan 2.7 Pro produced a more polished, professionally designed layout that used the square format more effectively. Wan 2.7 Pro is the slight winner for its superior composition and clean illustrative style.

Isometric Miniature Diorama Scenes

Text-to-Image

“Create a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Japan's signature dish: sushi, with soft refined textures, realistic PBR materials, gentle lighting, on a small raised diorama base with minimal garnish and plate. Solid light blue background. At top-center: 'JAPAN' in large bold text, 'SUSHI' below it, small flag icon. Perfectly centered, ultra-clean, high-clarity, square format.”

Qwen Image Max
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Perfectly follows the 45-degree isometric projection requested.
  • + Excellent miniature 3D aesthetic with a clear glass-like diorama base.
  • + Very clean and readable typography for both words and the flag icon.
  • The sushi pieces are slightly overcrowded on the plate relative to the minimalist request.
  • The glass base has some minor perspective clipping on the left edge.

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Beautifully soft, refined 3D textures that hit the 'cartoon scene' requirement perfectly.
  • + Highly professional graphic design and typography implementation.
  • + Excellent use of PBR materials with subtle reflections on the plate.
  • The perspective is more of a standard 3/4 view rather than a strict isometric layout.
  • Includes more garnish and extraneous elements (chopsticks, sauce) than the 'minimal' request asked for.

Verdict: Qwen Image Max followed the isometric diorama instruction much more accurately, creating a true miniature figure feel with its glass base. While Wan 2.7 Pro produced a more aesthetically pleasing commercial-grade graphic with superior textures, it deviated from the specific isometric constraint and the minimalist garnish request. Qwen Image Max is the winner for adhering closer to the technical composition requirements.

Adorable Baby Animals in Sunny Meadow

Text-to-Image

“Hyper-photorealistic scene of fluffy baby animals—a golden retriever puppy, tabby kitten, baby bunny, and red fox kit—with big expressive eyes and ultra-detailed soft fur, playfully chasing butterflies and tumbling together in a lush wildflower meadow, warm golden sunrise light with god rays and dew sparkles, joyful wholesome vibe, 8K masterpiece.”

Qwen Image Max
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent depiction of god rays and soft sunrise lighting
  • + Vibrant colors and lush flower-filled composition
  • + Dynamic poses that convey a genuine sense of tumbling and play
  • Failed to include the baby bunny
  • Includes a second partial puppy head/body that creates anatomical confusion

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Successfully included all four requested animals (dog, cat, fox, bunny)
  • + Very clean and realistic fur textures
  • + Noticeable dew sparkles on the grass as requested
  • The kitten has an oddly elongated neck and slightly distorted facial features

Verdict: Wan 2.7 Pro is the clear winner as it successfully follows the prompt's requirement to include all four specific baby animals, whereas Qwen Image Max completely omitted the bunny. Wan 2.7 Pro also features more realistic rendering of dew and a better balance of subjects, despite some minor anatomical awkwardness with the kitten's neck.

Vintage Cafe Logo

Text-to-Image

“Vintage minimalist restaurant logo for "Caffè Florian", retro cloche dome with steam and "Est. 1720" banner, classic typography, warm brown and cream tones, subtle texture on light background, vector emblem style.”

Qwen Image Max
Wan 2.7 Pro

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image Max

  • + Excellent typography rendering with the correct spelling of 'Caffè Florian'
  • + Strong vector emblem aesthetic that looks professional and clean
  • + Includes all requested elements like the stylized steam and banner in a cohesive layout
  • The paper texture background is a bit generic and aged looking compared to a clean minimalist logo

Wan 2.7 Pro

  • + Elegant circular emblem composition that feels very sophisticated
  • + Includes additional relevant thematic details like 'Venezia Italia'
  • + Good use of warm brown and cream tones
  • Misspelled name as 'Florion' instead of 'Florian'
  • The cloche is detached from its handle, making the steam appear to come out of a floating knob

Verdict: Qwen Image Max is the clear winner because it correctly followed the spelling instructions for the brand name, whereas Wan 2.1 Pro produced a typo ('Florion'). Additionally, Qwen Image Max's logo construction is more logically sound, while Wan's cloche illustration has a floating handle artifact.
