Dawn on the Sea of Cortez jigsaw puzzle

A few clues to get started

Explore animals, wildlife, nature. Look for these features as you bring the picture together:

• Separate light areas from shadow first. Follow the edge of a bright patch and compare warm and cool shades rather than treating every orange or pink piece as a match.
• If water meets land or sky, build that boundary first. Treat reflections as a separate area: similar colors can appear on both sides of the shoreline without being neighboring pieces.
• Begin with any clear outline, eye, or face detail. Follow the direction of fur or skin texture, then leave similar-looking habitat pieces until the subject is established.
