I’ve been playing around with cyanotypes for a few months now and am trying to perfect this one. Maybe I’ve looked at it too long but something just feels off? Maybe the background photo is too dark? Just need another opinion and maybe some ideas of how to improve this one.

Here’s my process:

Paper: canson xl watercolor paper

Uv lamp exposure for 7 minutes

Cold water rinse. No hydrogen peroxide.

Negative is placed ink side down with glass on top and tight

Made the collage in photoshop didn’t adjust contrast midtones etc (maybe that’s the problem?)
