These pieces were all done on colored paper, except the goose, which was done on fabric because it was on the side of the road. The first piece contains framing, as the picture does not fill the whole piece of paper. The last two fill the frame, as the baby bird is curled nicely across the paper and the goose and texture of the light fill the entire piece.

The first and last pieces have a large amount of texture -- the first with the feather pattern and texture of the owl, and the last with the texture of the sunlight and paper. These make for interesting pieces. The last two focus heavily on color and contrast -- with bright whites and dark blues. The last image also has a lot of movement -- the texture of the paper or light leads your eyes across the paper and makes sure you take it all in.

 I think I'd really like these to be cyanotypes because they have good composition and interesting texture. The first one is framed with the two branches and also uses level horizon. The second on is offset using the rule of thirds and has a unique texture.
