Picture Perfect Contest 1 (in Contests)

Above is a 25 by 25 picture.
It starts out just a white square but there's an image in there. Your job is to guess what it is.
To do so, you may make requests for me to reveal squares by providing me with coordinates in the form, x,y.
The upper left corner is 0,0 and the lower left corner is 0,24. The upper right corner is 24,0 and the lower right corner is 24,24.
Coordinate hints cost 1K sent to
Shade.
For every 2 coordinate hints you request, you may make 1 guess. Guesses are free.
Prize is the pot in which i have put $25,000 already minus the transfer fee of the prize.
I will only pay attention to 5 posts at a time and will not refund posts made in addition to these.
Furthermore, you may only make one coordinate guess at a time. I will also not refund second guessed coordinates
Note: On the right picture the black dots are the first of 5 pixels. The last column and row are kept white
Pot: $25,000

" the lower left corner is 24,0"
If you are using x,y in the traditional sense, the lower left corner would by 0,24. This looks more like you are using y,x. I point this out because if you use a graphics editor to determine where the points are, that is likely how it will understand the coordinates.
Private in programs such as paint I understand that top left is 0,0 and bottom right is 24,24 and I am guessing if it is not that which Shade has used then some other similar program.
Lets' get the ball rolling.
1,1 please.

reminder: not all areas are filled with color 2 small areas are in fact white (i could have changed this but this would have affected the style of the picture too much)

Actually, the bottom left corner would be (0,-24), but that's just me.

Doing it the way paint does it is fine but paint does y,x. :::Uses Adobe Photoshop...:::
