Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Claude 3.7 Sonnet (2025-02-19) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission more effectively captures the surrealist theme with a detailed and imaginative depiction of a penguin in a floating teacup.

    The melting clocks are creatively integrated into the sky, enhancing the surreal atmosphere.

    The technical quality and visual appeal of the composition are strong, making it a more compelling interpretation of 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.
