Jungle Waterfall

 Stave, 530 pieces. Lots of detail here; I liked that the flamingoes were in multiple places although it sometimes complicated matters. 7/10

love the multipiece lion

rebus: And+eye+mule ant+tack+S = animal antics (possibly animal attacks but that seems violent)

dueling giraffes

Night Lights, Andy Russell

 Elms, 585 pieces. Lots of color here; steady assembly. 6/10

Haven of Halos, Dee Rogers

Nonie Made Me, 67 pieces. Fun Teaser-style puzzle, relatively simple. 4/5

Joe Vaux, Bad Apples

 Artifact, 446 pieces. An interesting cut pattern that said puddles more than apples to me. 3/5

Mayan Transformation, Bo Newell

 Elms, 318 pieces. Busy image with lots of detail and animal whimsies. 6/10

Skeleton Crew

 Stave, 75 pieces. Pleasant two-sword Teaser! 6/10

M.C. Escher, Bond of Union

 Optimago (?), 600 pieces, 1 apparently missing :(

Very difficult because of the black and white and significant areas where there was only a bit of non-gray. 3/5
