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

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission better adheres to the prompt with its depiction of a floating tree featuring glowing roots and a clear reflection on a calm lake at sunset.

    The composition is visually appealing, with well-defined glowing elements and a more detailed tree structure.

    Player 1's image is more abstract but lacks the same level of technical quality and relevance to the prompt.

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.
