Night Water Photoshoot — Dark Swimsuit, Blue Light

Read the prompt brief

Photorealistic fashion portrait of the adult woman in the uploaded reference image (DO NOT TOUCH FACE). Create a glossy wet-look fashion portrait of the woman with slicked-back hair and a few face-framing wet strands. Her body is angled at chest level, photographed from a slightly elevated perspective, and she looks away from the camera with a relaxed dreamy expression. Makeup is polished and luminous, with defined eyes, dewy highlights, glossy lips, natural skin texture, and a clean fashion-editorial silhouette. The setting is a humid pool, spa, or balcony environment with glossy surfaces, cyan-blue neon reflections, and a single magenta accent in the background. Skin and hair look lightly misted, not plastic. She wears a black glossy one-piece swimsuit with thin straps, layered silver necklaces, wet slicked hair, and shoulders lit by cyan pool reflections. The mood is nightlife fashion, clean and non-explicit. Shot with an editorial portrait lens, tight composition, shallow depth of field, and clean subject separation. Photorealistic, high-resolution fashion photography with natural skin texture, realistic pores, accurate hands, crisp fabric detail, clear eyes, subtle makeup texture, and no beauty-filter plastic smoothing. No text, watermark, logos, cartoon, anime, CGI, extra fingers, warped hands, broken wrists, distorted face, mannequin stiffness, or excessive empty space.

Prompt-matched historical roundThese saved outputs share the same prompt. The older runs do not include byte-level proof that every model resolved the identical reference file.

Scope and limitations

  • It measures preference among these 88 eligible outputs, not every image each model could produce.
  • One visible output per model and prompt does not measure reroll variance or long-run reliability.
  • The outputs are grouped by the same saved prompt, but the historical 4.5 and Lite records do not contain byte-level proof that every old run resolved the identical reference file. Treat this as a blind output survey, not an exact-input laboratory benchmark.
  • Round four has two candidates because V5 Lite returned no output; the absence is retained instead of silently substituting a reroll.
  • The school-bedroom round excludes its Seedream 4.5 output because it did not use the same reference character as the retained V5 Lite and V5 Pro outputs.
  • Live percentages are descriptive community votes, not a statistically representative industry ranking.
