Couldn't solve.

a little tricky but I didn't have too much trouble. Must have been lucky with my guesses. Not until I got the upper right image could I figure out what it all represented.
fun.

Solved with edge logic and smile logic.

interesting. original. not an image i've seen before on webpbn. nice job.

very clear image

after line/color logic gives out i did edge logic on the 8 in row 8 to get a little more
then no matter where the black 1s in column 13 go column 14 rows 7/12 are always dots
more edge logic on the 4 in row 1 and then more extended edge logic in the top area but i think this bordered on guessing for me

Tricky solve. It felt like deep lookahead, but it bordered on guessing for me too.

I did find some good edge logic after all the color logic and line logic was done. In Column 27, there are only 3 places the 3 can go. Using edge logic on that 3 eliminates one of those possibilities, which makes C27 R13-14 black. After that the logic was always at least 3 steps for me.

Can anyone tell me what this image is? My brain cannot seem to make sense of it.

She was applying red fingernail polish and knocked over the bottle, spilling a bit

Ah, I see it now. Thank you, Kristen!
