Sunshine

Challenge:

The rays of sunshine are right there, in front of your eyes.

Solution:

After spending too much time in Pixelmator and GNU Image Manipulation Program, unsuccessfully trying to rotate each section of the image, I went the "low-tech" route. I cropped and zoomed the image and printed a physical copy. Then, armed with scissors and a glue-stick I proceeded to create a new picture, like I was making a ransom demand for a 1980's movie.

When I had completed the "puzzle" I was able to scan the QR code with my phone and retrieve the flag.

The accepted flag was, he2021{0h_h3llo_sunsh1ne!}.
