The face in the thumbprint is a bit easier to see if you invert the colors:

Wow, nice work (I was on call out all night so I only caught up this morning).

One thing though, can we have a little more detail on the Playfair solve? Like what key you used and / or the letterblock? I'm trying to puzzle it ou here but can't seem to do it. Maybe it's just early.

EDIT: forget it, I got it

Using the key "kenkon" gives the letterblock:

K E N O A
B C D F G
H I L M P
Q R S T U
V W X Y Z

Edit: Spoilers removed as this shows method, not solution.- drizjr

Yeh, was just about to post. Some solve details really weren't very clear last night, I ended up having to do it again myself too! Smile

-Guys, if we solve something can we write clearly about how, instead of making blunt unexplained comments. Merci beaucoup! Very Happy
