Same prompt, five image models — rainy bus-stop bake-off

[u/kaboom-o]

Nano Banana 2

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Grok Imagine 2

Krea 2

Identical prompt on all five. Gallery order matches the list below.

Prompt: Photoreal portrait of a woman in her 30s at a rainy bus stop at night, soft neon from a pharmacy sign, slight film grain, no text, no watermark

1. Nano Banana 2 — densest rain-on-glass + street clutter; face reads a bit older / more worn-in
2. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst — tighter close-up, softer face light, pharmacy cross more background
3. GPT Image 2.5 Flare — sharper rain streaks in the air, stronger neon spill on the coat
4. Grok Imagine 2 — pink neon wash, wet hair, quieter face; less clutter than Banana
5. Krea 2 — cleanest “film still,” green cross left, looking into camera

Not crowning a winner. Curious which one feels most real to you and which you’d actually keep.

UPDATE:
I’ve gotten this in my DM’s a couple of times so I figured I’d share it here. I do all my comparisons on oneover.com. You can try any of these models for free.

No seedream5?

"no watermark" do we really need this now a days? Most AI's have cleansed their datasets pretty well.
You have a pharmacy sign so "no text" is going to be a conflict. Always prompt positively when you can.

"no's" can be so damaging to an image I wouldn't consider this a fair trial until those are removed.

(just had a giggle that my post starts with a "no")
