Puzzle Description:

A sunset in a valley with clouds and an evergreen tree (backlit) next to a body of water. I hope it was obvious to you when you finished it.

I didn't need any guessing, just a lot of line logic for the clouds

the blue part looks like a guy sitting, in profile, with head slightly bent forward and he is holding something green (or some kind of cheap weed that gives off green smoke)
haha

No guessing, but the clouds took some of what I think is called "affirmation logic" to eliminate possibilities in the next row/column. (I never quite know the difference between the different types of logic.)

I didn't know what it was when I finished (I had blue meanies on the brain and I thought maybe the green was one's nose), but at least I could solve this one without looking ahead!

To me, the black part looked sort of like the torso and neck of a dinosaur with the green delineating a foreleg. But I see what Ron described now.

Why is it the end?

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

I used edge logic on the 3 clue in row 6 to see that R6C12 had to be a dot. The rest solved with line logic.

I also saw the profile of a man (blue) in the bottom left.

The end of a lovely day! I recognized the sunset before I finished. Nice.

Not at all obvious what the image was until I read the description, but very nice attempt at detail in small area!

The bottom was trivial. Now I have five blue spaces and can't get farther. I have the dot in r5c12.
#11: Andraya (gothicfeline) on Apr 18, 2013 [HINT]
After the dot in r6c12, I used more edge (or something akin to that) logic on the 3 in r6 to see that no matter where I put it, r5c10 would be filled in. That let me dot r5c16-20. All the rest was line logic.
