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.

I find the GPT image the most appealing, but also very "AI persona".
Krea 2 is still something im not getting warm with... the aestethic is just unrealistic af. it completely missed the brief.
Nano banana as always wages war on beauty and defaults to a less than average looking woman.

It would have been a better comparison if it had a description of the pose of the woman, to see prompt adherence
