One of the fun things about cyanotype is that using the brush strokes from applying cyanotype emulsion to your advantage. I composed this image from one of my gyotaku prints of a chinook salmon and used cyanotype to evoke motion and water, giving you a feeling peering through a rushing river as the salmon pair swim upstream.
