Six Bird Hunters in Full Camouflage

Stave, 405 pieces. Punches above its weight in piece count because of all the black, aided by clever cut design. 8/10

Chris Yates, Remote Archipelago

 Chris Yates, 61 pieces. A nice little example of Yates's work with mostly standard connectors and a nice 3-D element. 3/5

The Hat Shop

 BCB Puzzles, approx. 150 pieces. Challenging Teaser-style puzzle despite the fact that there aren't ultimately a huge number of dropouts between the whimsy pieces. 3/5

French Quarter Horse Post, Frenchy

 Liberty, 463 pieces. A very nice Liberty with lots of different colors and some areas of consistent color mixed with variation, plus New Orleans-themed whimsies. 3/5

Happy Valley, Marina Castaldo

 Elms, 430 pieces. A nice light-colored image with slight variations that eventually revealed themselves. 6/10

Venice, Italy

 Padma, 337 pieces. I think these three that I've done give a good sense of Padma's style--again bright colors and themed connectors. This time there are also standalone letters. 3/5

Edo Tako

 Padma Puzzles, 211 pieces. Another puzzle with well-designed themed connectors. 3/5
