Original - Cranes made from decorative stationery called "washi"

Reason

I think it's got the eye-appeal and EV.

• Weak Oppose The right creation is hard to see the shape as the head blends into the body - the paper used just isn't plain enough to stand out... Shame though as the EV is high and the left creation is clear... Gazhiley (talk) 12:11, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose As above, too hard to make out the detail on the right hand crane. --Silvestra (talk) 23:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
• To above: I can make it out, sorry if you can't, I'm not sure if any digital tinkering could fix that part though.. =\ --I'ḏ♥One 00:18, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
  • It's not so much that we CAN'T make it out - it's just that you have to blow it up to full size and look carefully to see it - it's not immediately obvious as it blends too much to itself... I lighter colour paper would be better for the right crane... Gazhiley (talk) 09:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
• Weak oppose. Not bad, but I think this is the kind of subject for which we could imagine/expect a real "WOW" picture- this one's just a little bit "meh" for me. J Milburn (talk) 10:05, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
• Weak support: It does a fairly good job, but the background is maybe a little distracting. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 19:15, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose If you tried to find a featured picture of "water," you would have a difficult time. (How are these cranes "special.") Gut Monk (talk) 01:47, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
  • I thought they illustrated the subjects very well, looked nice and were the best origami image on Wikipedia. --I'ḏ♥One 04:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
