This Cyanotype photo was taken by Tom Hart on Flickr. The type of medium he used as a very smooth, nonporous board. The chemicals crystallized because the cyanotype material was too thick. From what I could tell the compositional technique, that isn't part of the interesting 'mistake' might have been filling the frame. The person fills up most of the frame in the picture.

Now for the next few things are going to be a bit difficult to describe with the Cyanotype picture. For elements I think texture is very evident in this. Even though I don't think he was going for that the crystalization proves to add some unique texture and the lines of that texture helps to lead you all around the picture. With that being said it had a kind of movement around it. The crystallization as sort of a strange movement to it over all and it seems like darker and lighter pools of the blue have good contrast to it as well.

This picture was taken by Kim Ripley on Flickr. The type of paper she used seems to me to be almost like normal paper. Maybe pre-treated cyanotype paper, I'm not really sure. I think the compositional technique might have been fill the frame. The dead bird's wing takes up most of the paper but then again she might have simply found a good way to place it.

Now this picture has some things interesting. First might be the texture. Not much is evident but the whisps of whatever feathers are left on the wing are evident and give it a ghost like look to it. The lines of what was left of the wing takes you down and around and where the whisps are you just follow that. The shape is still in the shape of a wing but the form almost seems surreal in a sense. Now for principles it does have movement and contrast. The boldness of the dark blue contrasts with the bright white of where the wing is makes it stand out more and almost pop off the page while it almost seems to have a calming movement to it.

This one was made by bwrahbwrah jonguh [ rrrr/aybs/straw/iamdoom/p.h.di on flickr (no real name was given). The kind of paper this one is on almost seems like water color paper to me. As for composition I can't really tell. I think it has leading lines as well as filling the frame with it since the print seems to take up the entire thing.

Since this one is a cyanotype of a picture it had a few interesting things about it. It definitely has texture in it not only made by the paper but from the picture itself. It also has full line and a full shape to it as well and the form is actually full for this one. As for principles it doesn't seem to have movement but it has some to it and it had a kind of emphasis to it and a strange unity to it as well.
