# Key: Round 11 cross-critique (open after judging)
Six winters, blind; each judge's own painting included unmarked. Wholes are
the 3200 renders scaled down.

| critics | Alice | painting | Gemini | Astra | Fable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H | (anchor) | round 2's winter (Opus, high) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| K | r10 C | round 10 arm 2, frozen pond (Opus, high) | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| G | r10 A | round 10 arm 1, dolmen (Opus, high) | 4 | 2 | 5 |
| N | r11 E | Astra, low (no cracks: `cracks: None`) | 2 | **5 (own)** | 2 |
| M | r11 D | Fable 5.1, xhigh | 5 | 4 | **6 (own)** |
| J | r11 F | Gemini 3.8 Flash, high (unfinished: credits ran out) | **6 (own)** | 6 | 4 |

- No self-preference: each model ranked its own painting 5th or 6th.
- All three put round 2 first; all three put round 10's pond third.
- Alice (before the key): F "paradoxically ... the best one ... in a bad
  painter way"; E "so digital"; D "missing things".
- Common advice: the craquelure is an overlay (all three); snow as a fill;
  stamped grass, birds and firs; lost edges; branches as smooth paths.
