Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O4-mini low (2025-04-16) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2 demonstrates a stronger adherence to the prompt with a clear depiction of an upside-down cityscape reflected in a calm ocean.

    The use of vibrant colors, detailed building patterns, and a reflective effect creates visual appeal and technical quality.

    In contrast, Player 1's submission lacks clarity and detail, making it less engaging and representative of the idea.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.
