Hi there
So... Honestly, I have absolutely nothing constructive to say about these, because I know zilch about origami.
HOWEVER- I DO want to say that I completely, utterly, wholly adore these. Great job, and I love the little photography shots too.

Aww these are really adorable. Yeah, I don't really know how to critique origami...but I like the way you set the backgrounds up with them, that really helped add something to them. My favorite was the turtle, which I'm kind of in love with. <3 Anyway, this has been a lame review, but I really like these.

PEACE

I absolutely like the turtle most! Those origami are so cute! And well done with the background, it really suits the origami.
I also love making animals origami so I really like it.

Good job,
Alicia.

Origami!
I can't comment on your paper-folding skills based on the photos, but I like the photo composition! They look like the sort of pictures you'd see in those instructional origami books. It's probably your camera, but I wish the colours were brighter. Maybe shine a spotlight of sorts on them? xD
Oh, and for the fish origami, the angle seems rather uninspired, I'd suggest you point your camera downwards and shoot with a tilted bird's eye view sort of thing.
But overall, I liked it! The turtle is my favourite
I prefer to fold flower origami though. Maybe you can try experimenting with them!

Hey, red!

Awesome origami! I used to love doing origami back when I was kid. (Like it was sooo long ago)
However, the most complicated thing I could make was a crane and sometimes I still get mixed up with the steps. I'm quite impressed by your origami skills thought. You're pretty good. ^^

Now, as for the photographs, I'm not sure exactly why the sting is applied here. Is there a certain meaning it holds or was it just for fun? I think you could have played around with the strings a little more and have made it more creative and different, though. But the origami is really good...I wish I knew how to make a turtle. >.>

These are so cute!!! I love the first one the best, but there all pretty awesome.

Hey everyone,

Thanks sooo much for your kind words! Origami really is great, isn't it? But I have to admit, my photography skills are pretty average, so I'm really showing these off for the art and not so much for photography. And the string? I thought it looked kinda cool. haha. Oh, I shall try and lighten them up a bit too!

Hey RedLeaf, CaptianRandom here.

You posted something new! I love these they are so cute and really good. I sometimes do origami and I’m not that good, my folds suck. Love the turtle. Can't wait for more of your work. Keep up the good work as well.

Alright! Hello there, RedLeaf! By the way, I hope you are having a good first day of the New Year (I know I am!).

Now, this probably will not be too helpful, as I am no expert of origami. Actually, I am completely terrible at origami. However, I wanted to mention something I noticed. As beautiful as these all are, they all have little white corners folded up and such that distracts from the colorful patterns on the rest of the origami. I think you should color these white spaces in to make sure it doesn't distract from the origami.

Also, I was wondering why you used string in all these pictures, like PinkShearwater. I was all: does it have a special meaning, or no? But you said yourself it was just for fun. So, I personally would remove the string if it didn't hold any meaning, as it's distractive.

Hope this helps! Good work!

Origami is the best! The pictures are really cool too. I actually love the string. It makes the composition look really interesting and stuff. And I like all the animals, though I think the fish can be better described as a whale. Because it looks more whaley to me, lol.

ALSO. You should totally do a pig. Yep.

wow, they're adorably cute. however, i'd suggest that the third and fourth pictures be left just the way they are? i mean, in full color. it's dull to see only the origami shapes highlighted. however, it has a nice effect on the other hand.

Oh gosh those are adorable!!
I tried origami a few times, it's pretty challenging. Which is why I like these so much you seem to know what you're doing.
The photography is great too nice angles.
My only gripe is that on the swan, a few places are in black and grey. I think the color would stand out moreso if you fixed that little bit. Other than that, very nice!

THE PIGGIES ARE SO CUTE! <3 I would like this topic again, if I could, but I can't! But I wish I could! Wonderful job!

Also, I think there ought to be more string in that picture. I like your string!

Like all of the others who posted on here, I know absolutly fricken nothing, So, I will just post what I think about each piece.
1 ~ 3/5 I don't really like this. Just seems boring
2 ~ 3.5/5 I like it better but seems poorly folded
3 ~4/5 favorite
4 ~ 3.5/5 nothing bad, just don't really like it
5 ~ 4/5 haha, cute little piggies.
