The photographer/creator of this cyanotype is 'Cynthia Rybakoff'. This was one of the only prints I could find on the flickr page that was printed on fabric, and it was sun treated. I think that the compositional technique used here is leading lines, because the feathers bring the viewers eyes up and around the scarf. The texture is soft even to the eye, because you can seen the smaller fibers of the fabric and its obvious that it's a scarf (at least I hope it's obvious). The pattern is also a used element because the feathers are scattered and not in a uniform line or overlapped, and it creates a subtle, organized pattern.

The photographer/creator of this cyanotype is 'Hlevoi' I liked this print because it wasn't just the flower itself (weed, whatever), it has the petals/seeds off to the side, which makes it look like a still like photograph that was caught on the paper. This print was sun treated on cyanotype paper. I think that the compositional techniques are leading lines and rule of thirds; leading lines because the seeds can either lead a persons eyes off the page or towards the weed/flower. Rule of Thirds because the weed/flower isn't in the center of the page, but it shows a good compositional technique (not hiding in a corner and not in the direct center). The texture of the paper can be seen in the white spaces of the print, and give off a dry feeling, but with the tips of the seeds are fuzzy looking, and helps the picture give off the feeling that an actual plant was used.

The photographer/creator of this cyanotype is 'Copenhaver Photography' I was drawn to this print because of the model and the setting. I love the shape of her body and the contrast between her skin and the dress, and the shadowing on her back makes everything better. I'm in love with her shapes. This was a cyanotype created from a photograph. I think that the compositional techniques were filling the frame and framing; Filling the frame because there's not only the model in the photo, but trees and gravestones surrounding her and filling in the picture. Framing is the second compositional technique because of the dark contrast of the background to her skin seems to frame her in the center of the picture, as well as the general surroundings overall being a good frame for the model. You can see the rough texture of the gravestone she's sitting on as well as the plant life around her. It's very faint, but you can also see the soft and smooth texture in her hair.
