Hosanna 2000pc Jigsaw Puzzle by Tom Dubois

Bought as a gift. They were thrilled. Couldn't believe I found exactly what they were looking for.

If the objective of SunsOut was to make the most difficult jigsaw puzzle I've ever put together; congratulations, you succeeded! This random cut puzzle has the most maddening cut patterns imaginable. The workman who set up the razor pattern must be a bit of a sadist because there were entirely too many pieces that could fit in multiple places. Now, after you pat yourself on the back, please fire the head of your graphics department. Honestly, I'm amazed to artist gave permission to even use his painting since you cut off the top 25% of the original image! (highlighted in red -- see attached photo) If that wasn't bad enough the highlights were washed out and the shadow detail was muddy and pretty much nonexistent. When we started working on the dark lower third of the puzzle I had to hang an additional 2400 lumen work light over the table to supplement the six 800 lumen bulbs in the dining room light! Lastly, there was a huge pile of paper dust to deal with when the pieces are dumped out on the table. Personally, I will never buy another puzzle from SunsOut. But hey, if you like challenges and have entirely too much time on your hands, you might enjoy this puzzle. Then again, you may also want to burn it after a couple of hours of frustration.

This puzzle was challenging because the colors are all mostly dull. It was fun to do though and in the end the picture is very beautiful!
