Replies to "Why's that?":

on David Brill: It`s magnificent to see that throughout the years, Mr Brill has created his models following the traditional styles from Japan along with some recent methods from the west.
on KAWAHATA Fumiaki: Complexity of models
on KOMATSU Hideo: I probably say that right now, because I just recently folded his tiger. The other stuff I have seen by him is really nice as well. I like a lot of different people though.
Elegant folding sequences and wonderful finished models... the Nesting Pandas and his Squirrel are favorites.
on Robert J. Lang: Because of the foldability and originality of his designs
on John Montroll: Most complex animals I've seen, yet the diagrams have never been confusing to me, unlike other folders of similar levels.
I am into money folds. I would have to say Paul H.Krueger. In his book "Introduction to Moneyfolding" he interjects many items like where to find other books, who other artists are, history of origami and money folds, about OUSA. His information goes beyond his preformance in folding. I like John Montroll too. Your selection for who's my favorite would not let me chose . Oh well. Your all great. Thanks
The realism of his models
on Jeremy Shafer: Only because his designs totally lend themselves to thinking of origami in much different ways than usual. Instead of being intensely complex (which is still cool), they are thought-provoking, and have a very high "gee-wiz" factor!
on Philip Shen: At the moment he is my favorite because the secence of his folds is nice to do and the results are elegant to look at. I must ad that tomorrow it could be another.
on Can't say/There are too many: Sometimes I prefer more models to designers.
