I think flikr or at least use Tinypic, would improve the feed back. But here's my feedback:

Your models you make are good (I'm 14 and still am not making models like those), but they lack shape and crisp clean folds. Makes it look kind of like someone crumpled a few models then tried to make them as neat as possible again.

Also, your camera skills might need a few tweaks. Some are unfocused, and others are just in a dark place. Try using a lamp to light up the environment so we can see them clearer

you seem to be a quite diligent folder if i read down the listing of models you've posted.
mostly to me it's too cumbersome to follow the links to your pictures, so i just saw examples of your skill.
i would recommend to fold not that mass but a selected class. take time to chose a fine paper for each model and try to do a clean fold and - if possible - an aesthetic picture.

May I suggest some of John Montroll's models? You'd enjoy those.

joshuaorigami · Post by **joshuaorigami** » May 16th, 2010, 7:35 am

yes, i have nearly all of his books and have folded most of the models in them. i think they all have fantastic folding sequences and a great result. i will upload them sometime soon!

Hi Joshua, I'm Ben and I'm 13. I think it's great that so many young people are really getting into origami, and you're really showing some promising talent there

However, I'm going to have to repeat what others have said; you really need to take it one model at a time. Origami isn't about how many models you can fold, it's about enjoying yourself, putting some good effort in and achieving a nice result.
I think that you need to slow down and take it one model at a time. You need to try and make folds as crisp and clean as possible (tissue foil really doesn't help there)- accuracy really is key. Also, please, please, please- and I think I speak for most of the forum here- embed your pictures! Nobody likes clicking through a link just to find 20 individual thumbnails to then view! It would be real nice if you would just embed them into your posts, it's a lot easier for all of us, and not much more effort for you.
One last thing- like me, I hear you've ordered some origamido. Well, make sure you're 100% ready before you fold anything with it. It's a very rare and special opportunity to be able to fold with it, so use it wisely. I myself will not be folding anything with it for a while

I hope you think about all of what I've said and really take it on board.

P.S. I hear you live in Leicester? Are you a member of the BOS? If so, come to the Autumn convention in York, it's gonna be a real blast

How to insert pictures: viewtopic.php?t=721

Well, so far I know that most senior members of the BOS will be there of course, also myself and Anna & Gerwin (origami_8 and Daydreamer).

ok, thanks for the info! i have read this thread but still cant do it

could someone please post a video tuturiol on how to upload a picture from imageshack to this forum?? please please please???

Razzmatazz · Post by **Razzmatazz** » May 16th, 2010, 6:55 pm

You see Joshua, you have to have a direct link to the picture. Image shack I don't think has that feature unless you use firefox. If your using fire fox click and drag the picture to the url bar then it's automaticall go to a direct link of the picture itself. Then use that with the [img] on the forum.

I find with tinypic it's a lot easier. you can resize them while uploading and you don't need an account or anything. And it provides you after uploading it the html and links for different versions of your image (direct link, in site link, etc.)

Ben385 · Post by **Ben385** » May 16th, 2010, 6:57 pm

Joshua, there's no need for those URL tags, you just need the link in the IMG tags.
