The same seed locked in the first and last models only, so composition and grain shift noticeably across the middle three. Watch how the teal-slate cast and muted brick reds hold up, and where the soft film grain gets lost or becomes too heavy. The layered street framing—man striding forward, women mid-ground—either stays tight or drifts depending on how each system interprets the original seed. Models, in order: 1. flux-1.1-pro 2. seedream-4.5 3. gpt-image-2 4. grok-imagine-image 5. flux-2-pro

AI Model: flux-1.1-pro
Prompt: Cool desaturated urban photography with a pronounced teal and slate-blue cast, where muted brick reds and rust tones read as the only warm accents against overwhelmingly cold shadows. Flat overcast illumination keeps contrast gentle and shadows shallow, with a faint darkening toward the frame edges that pulls the eye inward. Fine film grain settles over everything, softening surfaces while edges stay naturally crisp. Colour is dialed back near-monochrome, lending a quiet, faded documentary melancholy and an even, unglamorous tonal balance. Three adults: a man in a knit beanie, scarf and hooded jacket holding papers, and two women in dark coats standing together in conversation. Wide eye-level street shot, the man striding across the foreground toward the lens with head slightly lowered, cropped near full-length, while the two women stand angled toward each other in the mid-ground to the left, all layered against a deep flat backdrop in even focus. Scene set on an urban corner sidewalk beside a large old radiator-shop storefront during overcast daytime, with a quiet weathered industrial atmosphere, featuring painted signage, roll-up bay doors, a street sign and empty asphalt.
