Fair assessment. For those here from the beginning the 1follow me clue was the first  clue that  kicked off an ARG that led through a ton of individual puzzles which ended up with the 1flamen6 image. That image landed somewhere around page 15 of this thread. The original 1follow me clue is not expected to play any part in solving this image puzzle correct? It was the first puzzle. The 1flamen6 image is like the hundredth puzzle in the series. One should be able to solve it without any other element excepting the painting. The white rabbit was followed, he led people to this last step. I only recently came across this puzzle so I viewed it as a separate challenge.
