Puzzle Lab, 285 pieces. This might be my favorite Puzzle Lab puzzle yet--the color line cutting recalls Fathom's precision (though I think Puzzle Lab helped itself out by choosing an image with black lines to do the color line cutting on). 4/5

Kristian Adam, Shroom Town
Peace of Heaven
Elms, 458 pieces. I like a good sky, where you have to use shapes mostly, and this delivered (though there were also small color variations that could be untangled), including with nice dropouts. 7/10

Delicate Beings, Jena DellaGrottaglia
Liberty, 537 pieces. A lot of fun--the whimsies are incredibly elaborate, and I like how the bird was made of different shapes than the rest of the puzzle. 4/5
Chakrasamvara and Consort Vajraharavi
Elms, 408 pieces. Tough for its size because of the highly similar colors throughout; the cutting seemed a little below Elms' usual standards, with a couple of unusually big and unusually small pieces. 6/10
Perkins Harnley, Hotel Melrose Lobby
Puzzly, 250 pieces. Strip-cut with whimsies, thin wood--like older Wentworths. Unusual image--the dull mauve and light green colors don't often predominate in puzzle images. 3/5

Moon Castle
Apro Vision, 152 pieces. This seems like one of the myriad hard-to-distinguish laser-cut
makers from the 2020 explosion--thin wood, shaped edges. The unusual shape is the standout. 3/5
Majestic Harvest
Foxsmartbox, 487 pieces. Image looks dark but had sufficient guidance; paper peeling from a lot of corners. 3/5
Vintage Travel Abruzzo Rome
Peaceful, 250 pieces. Another early-seeming Peaceful. Image a mix of big chunks of color and a bunch of details. 3/5

Carnaval
Peaceful, 250 pieces. Has the feel of an earlier Peaceful, with a couple of whimsies copied straight from Liberty and some fragile pieces. 3/5
Yury Namestnikoff, Dali's Clocks
The Ocean State
Stave, 65 pieces. Another fine puzzle for a state I rarely visit. Bonus points for Mr. Potato Head! (I don't envy the person selecting the themed whimsies.) 6/10
