• + Lighting is soft and follows the 'from the left' instruction accurately.

• − The sphere appears relatively large, pushing the definition of 'small'.
• − The glass cube lacks a physical top surface under the book, making the book appear to float on the edges.

Nano Banana Pro

• + Excellent adherence to the 'small' scale for the blue sphere.
• + High level of realism in textures, particularly the weathered wooden table and the vintage book.
• + Accurately renders the plant through the glass with realistic distortion and smudging on the glass surface.

• − The lighting from the window is quite harsh rather than 'soft'.
• − The plant is more besides the cube than 'behind' it, though still visible through the glass.

FLUX.2 [flex]

• + Near-perfect preservation of the car's exterior design, including the distinctive grille and headlights.
• + Successfully placed the subject from the reference photo into the driver's seat with matching hair.

• + Excellent adherence to technical prompts like motion blur and shallow depth of field.
• + High-quality skin texture and realistic, candid composition.
• + Strong cinematic lighting and reflections on the pavement.
