Cynotype

First Attempt (1 minute, 42 seconds)

Second Attempt (1 minutes, 34 seconds)

Which is the better one of your cyanotypes?

I think that the second one is the better one.

Why is it better?

I think it's better because the objects that i chose to use are ore visually interesting and that detail in the second is nicer then that of the first. I also think that the second one is better because of the choice of positioning that i decided to use. I thin the first one looks too empty but the second one is more intricate. 

What could be improved?

In the first one, what could be improved is that i could've left it out for not as long because the white in the picture is too vibrant and it took some of the detail out of the pouch section of the cyanotype. 

In the second one,i think i should have left it out a tiny bit longer because you were unable to see the detail of the cris cross  on the fabric. Also the leaf moved at one point so there was a shadow.

Are there details you were not expecting?

In the first one I wasn't expecting the dots on the fabric to come out that nice and vibrant and that the detail in the pouch would be so intricate. I didn't think that if i left it only for a minute and 40 seconds that it would show that much detail. 

For the second one, I wasn't expecting that the chain link in the necklace would come out showing each individual link, I liked that about this cyanotype. I also didn't expect that the leaf would have moved half way through and that it would make such a drastic shadow, but i don't hate the shadow, I find it gives the cyanotype more character. 

Are there details you were expecting but did not achieve?

For the first one i thought that there would have been more detail in the leaf, for example the wrinkles in it and the curves, but I guess I left it out too long. Also I thought there was going to be more detail in the strings of the pouch, showing the individual strands coming together. 

For the second one, I thought that there was going to be more detail in the fabric that has the cris cross pattern because the actual pattern itself has different textures, very similar but different at the same time. I also thought there was going to be more detail in the leaf because of it's texture but there was none. I hoped that it would have showed the crinkles and the edges more. I had also hoped that the clasp of the necklace would be more bright.
