I thought I would try some experimental techniques, so I began with cyanotypes and kallitypes. Personally i think the cyanotypes worked better as the colour was more vibrant and the contrast was more visible. This meant that the small details, like the hairs and reflections of the eyes were very clear. Although the kallitypes match the original images better because of the colour, I don't think they worked as well because they didn't stand out as much. The contrast wasn't as clear in the kallitypes, meaning the image wasn't as detailed and the emotions in the eyes weren't as clear. The colour of the kallitype is too dark and there isn't enough definition between the colours. 
This final image of the turtle didn't work as well as there wasn't enough different contrasting details in actual turtle, so it just came out as a block colour.
