mid wind-up...not a particularly good image, but a tricky solve. Happy belated Birthday!

Apologies to frustrated solvers! The man likes em tough, and this is probably even too easy for him ;) It is logically solvable without guessing....

I loved the solve! But I don't see anything, may be because it was not meant for me?

Also having trouble.

naw, it's an overall crap image and it's a stretch to make sense of it....a guy pitching a ball, mid wind-up. but he/it has wings. A California Angel pitcher. I had an idea a while back and it didn't work out, but I never deleted the puzzle. this puzzle isn't about the image, but rather the ability to solve it. I'm glad you took the time and did solve, J! Sorry to not leave you with much to look at afterwards....I don't expect rave reviews for this (lol) Just a tricky solve for those who are into working their noodle

Haven't seen Adam on the site since May 4. Anyone know why?

ummmmm, it was Star Wars Day? May the 4th be with you! Naw, not sure. But I've noticed as well. Hard to believe that he'd just disappear....my guess is that someone got snippy with him or vise versa and he's laying low for the time being. possibly using a diff id to solve and keeping quiet. who knows? or maybe he's busy or just taking time off. anything is just a guess til he comes back and tells us himself. I do miss having him here though....

Ahh, angel wings make sense. I thought maybe it was a stop-motion image of the pitches swinging his arms around. :)

Ditto Kristen:)

oh, and the image looks good to me, relatively of course, since i'm a texas rangers fan :)
