Christo, Cool. :-)
By my math, it looks like you're missing one piece, though. :-(
Dunno if you've seen this site:
"Are my tiles Bakelite, Catalin, vinyl plastic, bone, ivory or what?"

which tile is missing?
Christo, I was just counting tiles, and you have 143.
It was a bit difficult to tell initially, because of the way you had them laid out in two pictures, and not in order in terms of type, but on closer examination, you have only 3 blank tiles.
In a normal Chinese set of 144 tiles, there should be 4 blanks:

The Chinese Set
The normal Chinese set has 144 tiles: the dots, bams, craks, winds, dragons, and 8 flowers.

Hmmm, then again, maybe not. In your second picture, I spy a tile at the end of the 4th row of 13 that might be a blank (it's got a couple of small marks on the edge, but otherwise seems blank).
You'd be better off arranging them in order; that would make spotting the missing one much easier.
If you feel you must split them into two pictures, then try 10 rows of 8 tiles in one picture, and 8 rows of 8 tiles in the other.
I'm getting dizzy now. >8-0
Well, my preious comment on this was about as clear as mud.
What I should have said: arrange the tiles so that the similar ones are all together.
Then if you feel you must break it up into two pictures: 9 rows of eight tiles in each picture -- with one group having a row that's one tile shy of complete, of course.
Preious?
