this needs more contrast. too gray, or maybe the bottom should be black, and the bird and untouched paper white, and then just do it in "color"... it would give it a natural contrast. Good idea, and good illustration of the challenge.

Nicely composed image and good idea, I regret the absence of tones on both end of the possible range. If you use photoshop, the "auto level" command would have improved that with no effort. 7

With just a little more light to make the whites pop, this would be a 10 for sure... great work :) = 9 - setzler

Why did you make the pic so small in size (83K). You got some very pronounced jpeg artifacts happening. It is too bad. Composition is nice though. Lighting could be a little better.

Beautiful composition. I like the 'white on white' but it seems a tad too grey or dark. Great before & after :) Lisa

This has really good potential. The composition is pretty good. I like the crane and position but I think it should be panned back a little. The other thing is color. My mother's origami paper back when I was a kid was some very wonderful colors and patterns. The black and white thing here doesn't do it for me tho. - Inspzil

challenge met. what a wonderful simplistic idea. i did have to look twice to see the sheet of paper though, and i think that's partially due to the fact that your photo is very low contrast. you may have just tried to avoid harsh shadows, but i personally feel that more contrast is needed anyway. one way i have found of doing that is to put my camera on a tripod on a relative long exposure and pointing a strong light source at the object and then holding a white bedsheet inbetween the lightsource and your photo object. other than that, the curve in the paper is very nice and your origami is, too, i like it.
