Puzzle Description:

Horus, Egyptian god of the sky. Often represented as a falcon, or merely with a falcon's head. Since he is the sky, he is also bearer of the sun (here wrapped with a cobra).

Needs color logic to get going.

Later there are two instances of two-way logic needed to continue. (somewhere in the lower right. - I forget exactly.)

Very challenging. Your puzzles are great for prompting me to try other forms of logic besides the line logic.

Having read your hint, I realize that that's where I thought I was stuck for a while (I think it was row 27, where I had a choice to make the pixel black on either side of the black one in column 28). Then I realized the only logical choice was to place the black mark in column 29.

I also had a little trouble around the falcon's beak, but managed...I think that was also two-way logic.

When I was done, I had to back up to see the image, and then it was very clear! :)

I had done similar 2-way logic around R26-27/C27-28, but one or two moves after that, in the same area, I seemed to be stuck.

I think I did extended edge logic to finally solve it. Was there an easier way without extended edge logic?

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

I only got 5/6th done and then couldn't figure out how to proceed with logic...I tried 2-way, edge, etc. Tough!
Help.

I may have missed something, but I couldn't solve it logically

Wow, that was really a challenging puzzle. I only got so far then I got stuck. I couldn't think far enough ahead to do the extended logic, so I guessed, but I guessed right.

I was "seeing" something totally different, but it made more sense after reading your description. Nice.

Finally got around to making the rather short tutorial for this.

Thanks, Kurt.

Well, I saw the head alright. The rest is not clear even with the explanation. Nice attempt though.
