Same prompt on Nano Banana 2.1 and GPT Image 2.5 Both followed the prompt well and both got readable signs. But this direction? GPT's version is stunning. The golden hour sun, the statue and fountain, carriages everywhere, umbrellas, pigeons, a whole crowd of tiny stories. It looks like a movie frame. 2.1 was cleaner and easier to read, but GPT made the scene feel alive. Honestly, GPT nails this picture 👀
