Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3-mini high (2025-01-31) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission offers a clear depiction of a castle with pronounced tentacles holding umbrellas.

    The composition is well-balanced and the elements are distinctly visible, adhering closely to the prompt.

    Although Player 2's image shows creativity, the castle and tentacles are less defined, making the concept less immediately recognizable.

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.
