Bengal Tigers Jigsaw Puzzle

This Bengal Tigers jigsaw puzzle is a photograph image with a lot of glare and very dark background. The shadows in photograph images can be challenging so it's a good thing this one is 300 pieces. That said, just looking at these beauty animals in their environment is well worth seeing on my puzzle table.

Bengal Tigers Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly

I did my usual sorting routine.

  1. Sorting to locate all  the outside border pieces, while....
  2. Placing the pieces into the 'general-color' layout onto the Grateful House puzzle trays. These trays are 14" x 10" in a pack of 8. I can layout all the pieces easily IF I use the lid for the edge pieces. This example is using the Cobble Hill Brand puzzle at 1000 pieces and puzzle Size is 26.625" x 19.25".

Obviously there was not much to sorting this image. Dark colors and light colors would do it. I started  with the Bengal Tiger in the front as it was the most clear cut. I moved onto the second Bengal Tiger. I found the head and paws not very clear in the photo.

Of course the 5x7" card looks quite clear and even the finished image looks mostly clear. But when assembling the rest of the image, like the fallen brown tree for instance, the pieces seem somewhat blurred.  

Luckily for the great overhead lighting I have I am able to distinguish color shades fairly well because all around the Bengal Tigers is pretty much darkness. I relied upon the shapes of the pieces for the better part of these areas.

Here is 2 very close up photos of this Photographed jigsaw puzzle. I think the cut lines contribute to some of the distortion of the Bengal Tiger's face and paws on the right. Look how clear the head and body is on the left image.

Bengal Tigers Jigsaw Puzzle Comments

The Bengal Tigers photographic jigsaw puzzle is part of a 10 pack. Sure-lox calls these the Puzzlers Collection which are made up of Photographic images. Also they refer to them as Deluxe Puzzles. 

I will try working these ones so I can contribute them to the Monthly Themes Jigsaw Puzzle Facebook Group's page. There is a Raffle at the end of the month.  You will in turn be able to create a Ravensburger puzzle in a collectible tin with a photograph of YOUR choosing.

To qualify for the raffle....

  • you must post at least 1 completed puzzle
  • If you post 3 completed puzzles or more - you will receive an additional raffle entry
  • For your post to qualify, it must be a photograph and it must be 300 pieces or more

The following image shows the variety of photographs in this collection. The box is damaged somewhat at the side which is surprising because it is actually made of very heavy quality. I purchased this one at the Thrift Store for $4.00.

Even the pieces are of good quality and when I completed the image I could actually pick up the entire puzzle and it stayed together. However, during assembly when I wanted  to move sections, the pieces did not stay together.
