Beautiful image, but it sure was an afternoon killer. It took a bit of educated guessing for me.

Excellent puzzle Tom!

I agree, excellent image and solve! (and no guessing or deep)

I had my doubts at the beginning as to whether it'd be moderate look-ahead, deep, or guessing when I got stuck early on...and then stuck again after solving 2/3 of it... but it turns out to be moderate. I wrote down the more difficult-to-see moves(though not the simpler el) if anyone wants or needs it...but I've got front and back of a notepad page filled, so I'm not putting it all down here unless someone requests it.

Yeah, this was a beast. I guessed. I don't care if it doesn't require guessing. I guessed. But it was worth sticking to because I love dragons.

Great puzzle. Not tradionally solveable. Did require some trail and error for me. Fantastic image. Thanks
