Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.

Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.

The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

I saw this post here a while back and was inspired to pick up the Kodak version of the puzzle for myself.

As pointed out in the previous post, the image in the two puzzles appears to be the same, but the Kodak version has a few differences. The main difference is the different crop. The Kodak version has the church centered.

Another difference is the change in the sky. The newer version has a fake Blu sky with clouds applied over the original.

The difference I find the most bizarre, though, is the color tone differences. The colors in the puzzle in the older post are a much more accurate representation of reality, while the colors in the newer version have the contrast turned up so high that the red looks radioactive. Unfortunately my camera doesn't capture them it well, but the leaves look like the heat vision from the movie The Predator. Hilariously, Kodak advertises "richer, truer colors!" on the box.

Very nice puzzle! Your review was a great addition. I like both versions, thanks for sharing. It looks like a great place to visit.

The colours are pumped to the degree it looks like a stylised painting. Very unrealistic, but kinda nice in its own way.

Because it looks so stylised though, it has a very old-timey feel, which is then strangely incongruous when you see the modern(-ish) cars on the streets.
