Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission demonstrates greater creativity, technical quality, and visual appeal.

    The giraffe is dynamically posed, and the use of shading, detailed features, and a clear self-portrait on the canvas enhance the adherence to the prompt.

    Player 1's image is simpler and lacks the same level of detail and compositional strength.

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.
