Cyanotype

This high-contrast cyanotype is composed of some rather abstract objects, which seem to be of natural and man made origins. The composition is top-heavy, yet has a sort of vertical balance.
It seems that the maker of this cyanotype used a variety of everyday objects. This can be seen as a reflection on the character of the artist. That he likes to used his "every-day" material. I appreciate the the high contrast ratio and the lighter tones in the central area. The clarity of the objects is well executed. I find the the focal points unclear.

Anna Atkins - Algae Cyanotype

This is an Anna Atkins cyanotype photogram of a british algae (seaweed), it shows all the stages of its life.

It must have been done for scientific purposes to study the plants life and development.

I like the mixture of the blue effect that represents the ocean with the algae that grows in the sea.

i would prefer if this picture was made with actual colors so it shows all the details of this plant and how it really looks.
