Me too, small hint would be much appreciated

Thanks for all your help Bunnylump and BassBloke - finally got it

hi i have also got the 7 flags,a hint on the next stage would be appreciated.

Thank you all.Got it i had 1 wrong flag.

i think we all had one wrong flag as the picture was not of the best quality

I don't blame the picture, I blame my old eyes. They just don't work as good as they used to.

The version on the website is a lot easier to see (brighter and mostly larger too.)

[Part of the problem also stems from making the flags look as though they belonged in the picture - which meant that some of them had to be smaller than I would have liked.]

Anyone want to borrow my magnifying glass?

Cheers. BB.

So you are saying you COULDN'T make the flags OBVIOUS?

Touché.

For certain definitions of "obvious", maybe?

I like the picture - thats my two pence worth!!!

Well I have to confess that that picture and the Arnolfinis are definitely in my top ten favourite pictures* - how could I resist the opportunity to turn them into puzzles?!

*although the Mona Lisa isn't - I think Leonardo is a bit over-rated myself

I was so stuck on one idea the "bigger picture" didn't hit right away until pnward made an "obvious" post. Then it was easier, except one flag. But that I might blame on my monitor.

What did I say, what did I say??? Sorry if it was a spoiler, I try not to.

well, finally got there after some nudging. Think I'm going colour blind. Website pic was a bit better, in that it made me wonder if I was seeing the colour I thought I was, but when I compared it with the flag next door, it didn't look that similar, which it should have, and that threw me by making me think my initial idea for the colour must have been right after all. (ok, that wasn't the best explanation of my problem, but I suspect that you know what I mean)

But hey, got there. Thanks BB!

I have 7 flags can I get a hint as to where to go next

Thanks Tricia

Yippee - I have it

I can Now watch Scotland lose against the All Blacks without feeling guilty

Thanks to everyone who helped!!

But Oh Scurra

why do you have to make it so difficult

Because he is evil and twisted. Didn't you realise that? That affable nature and wry sense of humour is just a smoke screen you know!!

Yay done! It took me about half an hour to enter the right thing into the answer box, but I've done it.

Went up to London today and was wandering through the National Gallery when I found myself looking at this painting. Said to my sister " I know that, but last time I saw it it had flags on"
