Neat image but difficult to see without the explanation. I am awed by the work and ambition it took to tackle such a complex image.#6: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Dec 3, 2010

Thanks, guys. It took a long time to make, and it wasn't as perfect as I wanted, but I just do puzzles that make me smile. :)#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 6, 2010 [SPOILER]
Fantastic puzzle, Liz. I enjoyed the challenge. It took a while to solve, and I saw the image suddenly right toward the end. Just beautiful!#11: Byrdie (byrdie) on Dec 24, 2010

Not sure why I didn't finish this one during the contest. It was sitting in my saved folder. Sure was worth the time spent picking away at it, however. Nicely done.#12: Bryan (Cyclone) on Jan 22, 2014 [HINT]

fantastic puzzle.#14: derby (Derby) on Nov 28, 2019
Wow, I love this type of puzzle that makes you work all over the board to solve. Very challenging. But totally solveable. Whenever I see this type of puzzle I wonder if the author was intentionally making it hard to solve, or whether the image just worked out that way. Either way, wonderful.
