What voters look for: believable skin and fabric, physically plausible light and shadow, lens behaviour such as depth of field and motion blur, and no waxy or over-smoothed surfaces.

FAQ

Why are the model names hidden?

This prompt is still being voted on. The arena is blind: voters compare two images without knowing which model made them. Names and win rates appear here once the prompt retires from the rotation.

Can I vote on this prompt?

Yes — pairs from every live prompt are served on the arena vote page. You will not be shown a prompt you wrote yourself.

Were the prompts adjusted per model?

No. Every model received the exact same prompt, unmodified, at its default settings, with no negative prompt or style suffix.
