I think this one needs more work.

Well, it looked more like a dinosaur of some sort.

Once I had completed it, I continued to add some more black tiles into the throat area (where Helmi's cat had taken out a chunk). That made it look quite nice.

Ignore my previous comment and rating. When you look at it in thumbnail size, it's perfect. My apologies Juan.

problem is the bird is part white ... but so is the background... so...
reply
dylan_oliver (22 May 2017, 5:17) complain
I think it would look a little clearer if the white part had a black outline around it, clearing up the issue mentioned by romulusnr. Still a really cute picture though - especially at thumbnail size :)

I appreciate that this puzzle was actually incredibly difficult. Probably can't get any harder than this while being a small puzzle and meeting this site's rules. It's true there's a problem with the end result because of the white, but if there was a colour instead of the white parts of the bird, the difficulty would be much lower. So it's a trade-off... At least we got a challenge.

Indeed near-white would improve it. At first I also was thinking of a dynasaur after fight, hahaha!
But the picture is marvelous.
Please go on!

agree that black to separate the two white areas would help.

Not a great picture, but more than made up for by the difficulty. Really well done,Juan.

This puzzle is very "empty" and that makes it extremely difficult to solve.

Overly difficult considering the end result.

The picture in beautiful and unique (finally not another fruit, flower or animated character!). You have to use your imagination a little bit, but once you do - you'll appreciate thepicture. :-)
It was truly difficult to solve.

Leaving out boundary lines, including white space in the picture--these are hallmarks of sophisticated modern art. I confess that I don't know what a magpie looks like so I'm having a harder time seeing it than I did with Vigil's rabbit. www.nonograms.org/nonograms2/i/16896
I crave difficult crosswords. Thank you, Juan!

This was very difficult. I got stuck after only managing to put down a couple of short lines, and was only able to progress after I made a mistake and the puzzle showed me where it was supposed to be. I ended up guessing how the bottom right corner should look like, and fortunately got it right. The picture is really pretty though.

I like it! Accidentally stylized!

The thumbnail is better than most puzzles here, but,obviously, a lot of people on here don't understand that some of these are better seen as a thumbnail.

I love it!

The difficulty depends entirely on what techniques you are used to. The puzzle is perfectly doable in 5-10 min if you are familiar with the right ones, and (based on other comments) a bit more difficult otherwise.
I really like this style of image. While some comment that a differential shade of white would have improved the contrast, I love it for the lack of this extra shade. I really like the nonograms where one has to finish the full puzzle before really seeing the image, which I have yet to see a picture with added whites do.
So this puzzle really ticks all my boxes!
Great job Valaroma!

It's pretty cool I think. Rather challenging and the result made no sense to me at first, but after seeing the title I feel like it's quite well done. Thanks.

I was only able to do it by guessing the right closer corner

People complain about the white part of the picture. I like it. It assumes we have some sort of imagination. The outline would make the picture worse. In my opinion the picture is clever. Solving it was a pleasure.
reply
Ageleni (22 November 2021, 10:44) complain
Unlike many others, I didn't find this difficult at all. It was almost routine, and went very quickly. I do feel that there should have been a bit of background color to differentiate the white. I am delighted with my screaming blue T-rex, though!

I found it mostly quite easy. I got a good start by guesstimating where to start in the top left. A good abstract of these birds, we have some in our area.
Thank you.

I also thought a dinosaur at first. Having just seen it as a small thumbnail in my profile, magpie it is. So clever!

I guess it's what they say it is. But it don't look like Heckle or Jeckel to me.
