Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O4-mini low (2025-04-16) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission captures the glowing bioluminescent whirlpool effectively with a central glowing element and a structured, visually appealing composition.

    The half-sunken ship is clearly identifiable and integrates well into the scene.

    Player 2's submission, while creative, lacks clarity in the ship's representation and appears more abstract, making it less adherent 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.
