I think that the smaller the pieces and the higher the number of pieces, the less it looks like a puzzle and more like a picture/painting. What are the dimensions of your puzzle?
I have done some puzzles that have a lot of light colors....like the sky, snow, and darker colors always seem to do better in not showing the individual pieces. Yours looks really good in terms of clarity of the images.
I hate it when a person's face is divided by 2 puzzle pieces. It sort of ruins it.
Here's two of my latest puzzles. I really liked the image of the first one, but all that lightness really shows the edges of the puzzle pieces. (Time Stands Still)
The second one I really liked. My daughter always loved fairies when she was little, and I love owls and moons, so this one was nice. (Fairy Tales)
