I use the BBcode straight from flickr. It should work fine.

Nice model!

This was a difficult decision, and all of the models were very good. However, my top three are as follows:

In 3rd place, FlareglooM's Girl in Kimono:


It gets across the form of the girl without getting cluttered with unnecessary details.

In 2nd place, chris_t's Snow-capped Mountain:


This is a very clean design, and looks exactly like the original, down to the jagged edge of the snow cap. Very impressive.

And in 1st place, topsu's Origami Forum Logo:


This was the most creative approach, I felt. I never expected anyone to actually try folding the entire thing! The shaping also gives it a sense of three-dimensionality; I especially like the flag and the dithering on the kimono.

Congratulations to everyone who entered! The topic for February will be up shortly.
