But......but you can see the yellow X on the picture without using the telescope.....or am I being incredibly dense?The yellow 'X' from the lighthouse... (I updated the engraved clue to be hopefully less cryptic, while being more cryptic

But you wouldn't know the painting was a distorted view of a map of the coastline! The paint scene is supposed to look like a view of Damon Bay, but the X marks a spot quite a ways west of that...

What a cool, cool idea! Nicely thought out!
(I'm having trouble seeing the X, too though, I must admit.)

i had trouble too, till i opened the full image, then it was pretty simple... and still cryptic enough to make people who aren't thinking scratch their heads.

Ahhhhhhhh......I was so busy looking for the X I forgot all about the coastline!
See, now I get it! I'd seen the cross, but I hadn't realised that the distorted rocks matched the coastline from the first map! Stoopid me.
The thing I like is that it's actually a good secret, in that many of us couldn't see what was actually visible. Top stuff.
