Hi -- what technique to use next in this situation (see attached for puzzle).

Thanks!

One path starts with locked candidates, then a hidden pair, and then a unique rectangle.

Jason -- thanks so much -- I found the locked candidates in R3C1 and R3C2 (the 5), and
removed the 5 from R1C1 and R1C2. But now I can't find any hidden pairs, and I also
looked for other locked candidates and could not find. :oops:

Any more guidance? Sorry for being a newbie at this level...

Look closely at row one.

Thank you so much! After using the techniques you suggested,
I needed one more: a BUG removal. But it worked!!!!!

I can breathe again! :-)
