nice pic. hard.

this is awsome I love how you manage to put so much detail in it great job and a fantastic idea of theme

THANKS! I was very worried that it would be too difficult to solve so it's nice to know, a day later, that someone has!
Thanks again.

Don't you mean "lit from the left?"

Nope, lit from the right which causes the shadow (blue area) to fall on the left hand side of the image.
Good question, tho.

Oh, thank goodness! When I saw the title, I was so afraid the pic would be something, er, less than appealing!

Sorry, just my sick sense of humor, pardon the pun.

love the shadowing :)

Since I tend to think of things from point of view and not the objects point of view (a normal human trait, don't you think), I'll stick with my version. :-p

byrdie, you've been adding a lot of yourself to the forum so we have a chance to get to know you, sooooo I have to ask, Do I get a picture of you to create a puzzle?

*please*

I'll have to think about that. <smile>

Byrdie would you compete in this week's WC ? (Forum #112)

Cleaning out my saved file and WOW! Great puzzle-thanks!!!

very hard but solvable

New version published by byrdie.

Great puzzle, lot of detail and was nice and challenging to solve!

Thanks. It took me a long time to solve it and figure out where to change it so it would be more solvable.

Very fiddly solve, but an excellent image :)

Excelente imagen, y difícil de resolver.

I would have liked to have done this, but when the puzzle is so long that I can't see the top clues as well as the puzzle, it makes for too much screen movement to be fun. I can't make it smaller because my sight is not so good.

Did you know that you can move the clues to the bottom of the puzzle, using the down arrow?

You can also expand to full screen, Neither one of these will make the full image fit your screen when you use "bigger" but they will allow you to see more of the puzzle.

On most computers f11 will expand your browser screen to full screen and the esc key will revert it to normal. I use chrome where you can also right click your mouse and there is an "exit full screen" option.

To expand on what Kristen is saying, you can use the up, down and left, right to shift the clues from side to side on the puzzle. You can also use them to align all the clues to the left, right, top or bottom. I like to use this when I've completed a long string of clues against an edge and want to grey them out.

Hope this helps. BTW, this is a tough puzzle. I created it very early on but it was quite some time before I was truly able to solve it myself.

Thanks, Phillip. It's been some time since I solved it myself and I was much more of a beginner then. I have no memory if I used similar methods or just dumb luck. I should try again some time.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Good image, but way too large. Couldn't fit the whole puzzle on my screen, even when setting the browser to full-screen. And the prior comments about moving the clues to the top or bottom do nothing for being able to see everything I need to see when solving, because when I hover the mouse over a partially solved column, the number that displays to show how many pixels of that colour are in a row is always on the opposite end. So if I move clues to the bottom, the hover number moves to the top. I rely upon this to be able to see how many more pixels I need for solving that part of the column. Thus, solving this required A LOT of scrolling, which is a serious pain.
