no worries, i love comments

very cool! I see you're trying Flux 2 pro now. How do you like it? It's interesting in this prompt how similar Seedream 4.5 and Flux 2 pro is as I find usually there are more differences between the two. Also your contrast on Flux 2 Pro is better than what I often get. I usually have to add some contrast lines for Flux in a prompt to improve the contrast
