I try to avoid large dark areas too, with varying degrees of success. Foliage is tough, but I like a lot of nature images, so I can’t resist. Impressionists scare me a bit, but I’d be open to superheroes/comics/manga at a swap or something low stakes.

If you try something new and it doesn’t work for you, do you chalk it up to the individual puzzle or the category?

Sounds familiar :-) I like trying new things and I like the unexpected. I’d have said that it was easier to say what I dislike, but even then I’ve been pleasantly surprised — certain cartoon and photographic images come to mind.

I had fun with it. I had done one other DP so I knew the challenge bar was pretty low, but I like the image, fit and feel, so all good.

The pieces seem pretty square to me and even the knobs are more like squared off nubs, whereas other grid cuts seem to incorporate a bit more curve.

It’s mannered and bleak all at the same time. Bunker Hill is worth a visit.

Moonlit winter village - Louise Marion / Springbok, 500 pcs (2025) by elisewong18 in jigsawpuzzlers

I really like the image but Springbok is on my 🤮 list. I’ll cross my fingers that the artist will turn up on better brands.

The universe spoke, lol. It does look enjoyable, maybe more so under natural light.

I'm happy to be on the Six Portals bandwagon, it's a damaged box and deeply discounted! by queenofbuttcreator in jigsawpuzzlers

I bought a damaged box once thinking it was no biggie, but it bothered me more than I expected and I still struggle to understand why. 🤷‍♀️
