Mask_cyan

The artist of my "free choice" image is Christopher James. I believe he printed it on paper. The compositional technique he used was leading lines. He used these well by stretching the Mona Lisa's face. The elements and principles of design that were best used in this cyanotype would be good used of rule of thirds, he stretched the image using the whole paper. Also, texture. You can clearly see the texture of the paper in the background and I feel that it adds to the image. As well as value, the background has kind of a gradient affect to it.

The Negative image I chose was by David (alternatephotography) it looks as though the image was printed on fabric due to the use of texture. A good element used by the artist was shading. There is a lot of light colors in the photo but also an equal amount of darks. It balances well. Also, shape. There are many different shapes throughout the photo which gives you a lot to look at. And finally, movement was used well because you can almost see the wind blowing through the trees.

The Photogram photo I chose to use was taken by HelloDenise on paper. I liked this image the most because it had emotion incorporated into it. Good use of rule of thirds as well and balance. The value of the image is okay, but it works for the type of photography.
