Entry in the Same Prompt - Different Models theme on BudgetPixel.
Start with the flying crane's wing feathers, then the moonlit water under the swimming one. In some versions the crisp plumage holds its edge against the soft wash behind it, and the foreground cherry branch stays readable instead of dissolving into the background. Models, in order: 1. seedream-5.0-pro 2. nano-banana-2-lite 3. grok-imagine-image-2 4. gpt-image-2 5. muse-image-1.0

lovely, except it bothers me to have the two birds centered over each other. Asian composition tends to be assymmetrical so it would feel more natural if they were offset.
