Leonardo generally delivers more realistic textures and cleaner reflections out of the box. Midjourney produces beautiful, often stylized results but more frequently needs prompt tuning, references, and inpainting/upscaling to fix artifacts. Workflow tips: supply multiple high-quality reference photos, specify camera/lens and lighting in prompts, and use inpainting to correct specular highlights.
