You can try edge logic on all four sides to help you along. But edge logic on one side will be more helpful than the others. I won't say which side though. Enjoy.

When I was looking on the Internet for graphics of the developing child, I found this drawing by DaVinci.

It is one of several:

An interesting insight into DaVinci's fascination with the workings of the human body:

I placed 5 out of the 25 in C1 by line logic, then proceeded to do edge logic on all the remaining 3 edges, counterclockwise, starting with the bottom row. Nice!
Wonderful image. Very recognizable. Based (I am supposing) on Arduinna's recent puzzle???

Thanks, Adam. It's not based on any other puzzle. It's an idea I've had for a long time. I could never get it to solve before. So I started over (for the third time), and after working on it for a few hours, I finally got it to solve with edge logic.

Nice puzzle, very famous drawings by DaVinci. Very solvable. Thank you.

Thanks, Ellen.

Beautiful, and the right amount of challenge. Thank you!

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Amazing Puzzle! I loved it!

Thanks, Petra and Jewel.

I loved that the image wasn't recognizable until you were almost finished. Those are my favorite puzzles. Very nice Teresa, as always.

Thanks, Shae.

great job. I really liked this puzzle and it's challenge. :)

Thanks, Telly. It's one of my very favorites.

wow. teresa, you amaze me. what a challenging and beautiful puzzle.

I wasn't sure I could do this one, as it is so challenging to replicate works of art in pixelated format and have it be any good. This is one of my favorites, art wise and puzzle wise.

first rate puzzle
excellent

Thanks, bugaboo.

Excellent! 5 stars and it's enjoyable to solve.

Thank you, Luis!

A great puzzle to solve and an outstanding image. Now I wish there were a 6-star quality rating. Thank you.

Thanks, Lollipop.

Had to guess twice. The saw the embryo very early, but thought it was a duck in an egg. Very challenging puzzle. Good work.
