What I liked:  Excellent quality and a fun image to work on.  It took about a day with help from the wife.

What I didn't like:  The image is a little dark in spots.  I'm not a fan of working on portrait style aspect ratios, it's harder on my back to bend over to the top of the puzzle.

There were a number of times I was positive that the piece I was looking for was not there, but it always turned up.
