Flat Lay — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Top-down flat lay on a small café table: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair and a cozy beige sweater leans into the edge of the frame, looking up toward the phone camera with a casual half-smile while her hand reaches for an iced latte. Neatly arranged on a clean white tabletop are two smartphones labeled “Nano Banana Pro” and “Seedream 4.5,” a handwritten comparison checklist, earbuds, lip balm, and a croissant on a plate, balanced and aesthetically spaced. Soft natural window light, subtle real-life shadows, candid Instagram Stories vibe (not polished), slight imperfections like a few coffee drips and crumpled receipt for authenticity."
