Hello!
Polly commented on October 27th, 2009 at 12:25 pmthese photos are really beutiful, i love the natural earthy tones:)
its really hard to decide on one particular photo but ive always loved birds and leafless trees so i think my favorites are up, wanderlust and in the moment actually perhaps pastoral with tree..they are all so beutiful!! :0
personally i like to take photos of things that have been left – old sofas, rubbish, washing mahines, also street photos, road photos, green landscapes, rust, sinks..ahh! in fact anything but shots of people – mainly because im rubbish at that!!
lalaaa – and of course dead birds:) (im a vegetarian, but theres something beutiful about them- maybe im just weird..)
thankyou for readingg:)):D
have a lovely dayxx
here’s a link to my twitter… great offer… thanks Tricia

helen commented on October 27th, 2009 at 1:10 pmmy favorite has to be the sense of humor and simplicity of 321. Like an old movie count down, but with a hint of adventure/travel by train. Thanks for the offer!
curiousjul commented on October 27th, 2009 at 1:18 pmAll of the photos are gorgeous, but I must say I am absolutely, 100% in love with Pastoral, Modern Landscape.
Nicole M. commented on October 27th, 2009 at 1:38 pmIn answer to the question, my favorite photography subjects would have to be flowers and anything having to do with nature.
Nicole M. commented on October 27th, 2009 at 1:40 pmI love to photograph my nephews and nieces at their level. My sibs (their parents) have a lot of pictures of the kiddos from an adult’s perspective. There’s an amazing amount of insight and a completely different narrative when you just get low.
I’m loving Tricia McKellar’s Wanderlust and Many and One prints—they’re all so good. Here’s my link and my tweet
mb commented on October 27th, 2009 at 1:49 pmMy favorite is ‘In the Moment.’ The are so soft and soothing. Pure elegance!
Deja commented on October 27th, 2009 at 3:19 pmOh goodness, I absolutely love her! I’ve had her work in my etsy favorites list for months. My absolute favorite is Many and One, here:
Emily commented on October 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pmhttp://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23315022
I like taking pictures of people doing things to capture the spirit of the moment and create a memory.
Emily commented on October 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pmI blog!

JulieSuzanne commented on October 27th, 2009 at 10:38 pmmy favorite is this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29500480 called escape. i love it because of the soft faded blue of the sky and how the birds are flying against the wires.
annie commented on October 27th, 2009 at 11:02 pmOh wow, what beautiful photographs. I love “Wanderlust”. Gorgeous!

Lisa Call commented on October 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pmSimple things may influence me to compose a photograph, a wire that is misplaced along a deteriorated wall, a misshapen piece of metal in an unintended environment. Contrast in texture or color and other design qualities that happen by chance and everyday moments.
barbara commented on October 28th, 2009 at 7:56 pmThe image that I continue to revisit is, “After the Rain”, by Tricia McKellar. The simple subject emphasizing the balance of positive and negative space, and the birds scattered along the wire… simple moment- wonderful moment.
barbara commented on October 28th, 2009 at 8:08 pmI really love the pics, they’re great. So hard to choose just one. I think it has to be pastoral, modern landscape. I also love Afternoon Sunlight and Industrial Decay.
Becca commented on October 30th, 2009 at 3:02 amI think my favorite thing to take pictures of is Green Bluff. It’s a great loop of about 50 farms in eastern WA and they have apple orchards, pumpkin patches, flowers, and more. I love going throughout the year and capturing whatever happens to be in season.
Becca commented on October 30th, 2009 at 3:05 amIt’s really too hard to decide on a favourite – these are all rather exquisite – but I think I like the landscapes best. I think it’s really hard to capture a good landscape image in a photograph. I like photographing broken things.
Kat commented on October 31st, 2009 at 3:39 amlovely has to be my fave
Mia commented on October 31st, 2009 at 7:25 amand my favorite thing to catch on camera is goofing off with random objects at goodwill
Mia commented on October 31st, 2009 at 7:26 amsuch pretty photos! I love the Afternoon Sunlight and Lens Flare through the Trees, so nice!
Michele P. commented on October 31st, 2009 at 9:35 pmtweeted! http://twitter.com/micaela6955/status/5327761502
Michele P. commented on October 31st, 2009 at 9:38 pmmy favorite subject to photograph is my kids or my cats, because of their unique personalities, facial expressions and the fact that the photos will make memories later on down the road.
Michele P. commented on October 31st, 2009 at 9:39 pmMy favorite is the Pastoral with tree.
Lynne commented on November 1st, 2009 at 2:08 pmAll of the photos are beautiful. My favorite is pasture with trees.
Mia J. commented on November 1st, 2009 at 9:12 pmI really like “Pause, 8×10 Fine Art Photograph by Tricia McKellar (Birds in Flight)” thanks for the chance to win.
Darcy B commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 12:07 amkakihararocks@gmail.com
I love ‘Many and One’, lovely quality and feel to the photo. Would look lovely in my bathroom next to the blue Rob Ryan print that I am treating myself to for Christmas.
Sophie Callaghan commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 9:11 amThanks for the great giveaway! Such a nice idea. my favourite photo subjects have to be sky and Autumn. Love colour.
Sophie Callaghan commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 9:12 amThe Sea Urchins are absolutely beautiful! Great photos!
Jakki commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 9:32 amlove, love, LOVE fill my eye (peony)

Bonnie commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 amWOW this is so very nice of you. I love the birds. Born and raised in San Francisco a row of black birds hits the spot!! Many and One.. reminds me of Bodega Bay. Also the movie trailer for Monsters. All the little birds on one wire than the BIG bird comes to sit. Very funny..
Vie commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 amAgain Thank you for offering this.
Will ad you to my etsy
I love the Industrial Decay, Bain print. Love the colours – the purple and the turquoise.
Melanie commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 10:49 amgreat giveaway! How I love this shop and Ive been on a huge art kick lately. ok, hard choice…
my favorite 8×10 is In The Moment (but I also really love the Peony too!)
Next – my favorite subject to photograph is animals, specifically goats, you can catch them is the funniest poses sometimes and I often find that when looking back at a photo is when you fully realize the expression an animal can show if their face. I also love trying to capture the movement of water, because its challenging, and beautiful when done right.
Third – off to twitter!
thanks for the opportunity!
lillyella commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 11:09 amnicole @lillyella
My favorite thing to photograph is my 3 year old son. You never know what you’ll get if you just keep snapping away!
Courtnet commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 6:29 pmMy favorite subject to photograph are trees and flowers. They amaze me!
KM commented on November 2nd, 2009 at 6:30 pmI fell in love with “Afternoon Sunlight”… it’s just so full of hope. Adorable!
Great giveaway!
I love all of the prints, how couldn’t you, they are so beautiful. My favorite(s), sorry I couldn’t pick just one, are: Pastoral with tree and In the Moment. The beautiful simplicity and the everyday moments that you don’t always appreciate really come through in these photographs. And my family is moving to a new State and to have these prints in our new place would be totally awesome!
