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

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission adheres better to the prompt with a clearly visible cat balancing on a tightrope while holding an umbrella.

    The composition is visually appealing, with a harmonious color palette and a clear depiction of the scene.

    Player 1's submission is less clear in conveying the idea of the cat balancing, and the umbrella is not as prominent or functional in the scene.

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.
