I liked the shark very much... those details are great. The paper choice is good, too.

I've been working on a whale for some weeks and I think I'll post it soon...

Ah, it was good to see that a lot of people submited more models... :D

Edit: And I did it:

The body is still a little short...


Polyp

From a modified blintz bird base. There are 13 tentacles. (But what's a polyp?)

Nice Stuff, I especially like the fish. It captures the essence of "fishiness" in a nice clean form.

Very nice fish! It reminds me of Hsi-hua's design.

That crab is origami. It brings with it a piece of art, of artistic hyperbole. Great model, my favorit in this month. Could you please send more pictures (and sharper)?

Thank you for your comments I will take more pictures as soon as I can.
by the way how do you post the actual picture on the post and not through a link?

I also very much enjoy the whale you did origami-brasil.

I love the crab, well done with your first design Second200, you can find how to post pictures in the "how to" section of the forum.

Origami-brazil, you have some wonderful designs - the blue whale is fantastic, keep folding.

Nice designs people :), I gave up for the moment , it's is way too hard :P maybe I will make some attempts soon, but I'm stopping for the moment, getting some more folding experience is better I think. :)
