I can't see the image.

BlackCat, watch this video, then look at the image again and you will see the footballer doing a bicycle kick. I didn't have the slightest clue what this was until I looked it up. It might help to tilt your head to the left.

Jan: again we need your ruling on the guessing part.

incredible image and great logical solve
simple edge logic in a couple of places internally was all that i needed
i actually solved the hand last and the ball right before that

one question tho
what is the black dot in row 45 column 12 supposed to be...
the bottom of his ear?
#11: Kai-Uwe Zickerick (conzick) on Jun 20, 2010 [SPOILER]
David, I think he just kicked it. if not the ball is too far down to hit it ...
in german this is called "Fallrückzieher"

By the way ... GREAT PUZZLE!!!!!!!!
#12: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jun 20, 2010 [SPOILER]
yes bugaboo, it's the bottom of his ear. it looked better when he had a little bit long hair behind his ear, but i was having trouble with solvability. glad you all like it. and thank you for the german lesson ;)

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
#17: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 22, 2010

Thanks all.

Fantastic! I had no idea that was a leg until I solved the spots on the soccer ball. :)

Good image. It would have been more fun to solve if it was set up in landscape mode as opposed to portrait mode.
