GPT Image 2 5 / 10 The illustration and photographic surfaces are accomplished, but the apparent extra lower digit is a critical weakness for this anatomy-centered task. That flaw places it below simpler images with clearly believable finger structure.
A hand drawing a sketch on paper with a pencil, the hand and pencil tip in clear focus. - Nano Banana 2
Nano Banana 2 9 / 10 Ranked 3rd of 13 for its excellent focus, natural anatomy, and expressive composition. It is close to the leading landscapes and botanical study, but their material rendering is slightly more refined.
