This negitive-based cyanotype was created by Fadat from transparency negatives, in 13 minutes of exposure in bright sunlight. This artist used leading lines -- in the way of the boots and how they are hung -- and filling the frame -- because the whole picture is the boots -- to show his great compositional techniches and to keep our eyes drawn to the cyanotype. Within this cyanotype we see the elements of texture -- through the leather in the boots -- we see line within the contrast of the light line of the boots to the dark background, we also see form in the way that the boot is 3 dimensional so we see the curves of the boot as it wraps around the photo. Finally we see the blue cyanotype color that is distinct in this type of media. Overall this picture has great unity/harmony in the way of the movement of the lines in the photo. It also displays great contrast with the background and the high lights creating and emphasized balance in the cyanotype.

This print-based (photogram) cyanotype was created by Hlevoi by placing objects on paper and exposing it to sunlight. This artist used leading lines -- in the way of the stem and how they lead you in a tangled form -- and filling the frame -- because the whole/only subject in this cyanotype is the flower -- to show her great compositional techniches and to keep our eyes drawn to the cyanotype. Within this cyanotype we see the elements of texture -- through the feather like peddles and the hair like stem -- we see line within the contrast of the highlight in the flower to the dark blue background, we also see form in the way that the flower looks 3 dimensional so we see what looks like curves in the circular flower head pattern as it wraps around the back of the photo. Finally we see the blue cyanotype color that is distinct in this type of media. Overall this picture has great unity/harmony in the way of the movement of the lines in the photo, one is not distracted from any outside objects. It also displays great contrast with the background and the white white creating an emphasized white balance in the overall cyanotype.



This negitive-based cyanotype was created by Mitchell2.24v. The original image was shot on Ilford FP4 and developed in Ilfosol 3. This cyanotype was exposed for roughly 30 minutes in the sun. This artist used leading lines -- in the background with the trunks of the treesand saddle vegetation -- and level horizon to show her great compositional techniques and to keep our eyes drawn to the cyanotype. Within this cyanotype we see the elements of texture -- through the straw like grass and the rough surface of the tree trunk -- we see line within the contrast of the highlight in the flower to the dark blue background of the grass and the dark tree trunk to the light blue background of the sky, we also see form in the way that the flower and the tree trunks look 3 dimensional so we see what looks like curves in the flower head pattern as it wraps around the back of the photo. Finally we see the blue cyanotype color that is distinct in this type of media. Overall this picture has great unity/harmony in the way of the movement of the lines in the photo it shows great space in the overall look. It also displays great contrast with the background and the dark blues creating an emphasized white/blue balance in the overall cyanotype.
