Color always plays a big part in my image making. Whether it be muted:

Janice says
I just love Tracy's classes! This class is just what I need to jumpstart into spring ๐
Suzy says
I prefer lots of bright colors mixed with texture whether they are natural as in spring tulips and daffodils, or bright banners on an old European building.
Susan R says
It has been a long time since I took a fun class – thank you for the opportunity!
Doris says
This class sounds like lots of fun!
Here's shot taken recently โ apples on a rainy day. I liked the pop of red against the dreary gray background.

Kathryn says
Red is one of my favorite colors. Most of the images I've been capturing recently have been grey, brown or beige (spring seems to be a little slow in showing itself this year) but I couldn't have been more happy to see this flash of red.

thank you for the chance to participate in the giveaway, this new course looks like a lot of fun!
Mary Ann Kucera says
Oddly, the stairhall at work. It was recently painted a glorious, changeable blue called "watery", from Sherwin Williams. So wonderful, I'm painting my bedroom the same color.
Sounds like a fun class.

kristin says
you do color so great xanthe! i love that london red.
Becky Sue says
I love to manipulate the color of the sky. Here I chose a robin's egg blue as the backdrop to pussy willows and newly emerging tree buds. A spring theme.

Love your leading color! When I see these city shots it makes me long for something other than the suburban countryside where I live.
ccap says
Oooh, I'd love a chance to win this. I'm in need of some inspiration, especially since starting up a 365 project.

Erika says
I love deep saturated color in my images (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gashuttergirl/5044843889/), but lately I have fallen in love with processing my images with a more muted color palette (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gashuttergirl/5596294717/). I love Tracey's classes. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in her next class.
Rebecca Weaver says
This time of year, for some reason (?!) I find myself drawn to bright, warm colors – even though they aren't normally my favorites.

Beautiful picture. I am hoping to win – I could really use the help!
Brenda says
Yesterday was gray and rainy here in Ohio. As I was searching for my Project 365 daily photo, I found that the blue-tinted sun shield along the top of the windshield made a wonderful gradient that enhanced the "rainy day blues" of this image:

Color that I had never noticed before – isn't photography wonderful?

Love Tracey's classes. Would love the chance to take another.
Kath says
Primary colours mostly, but as I'm learning about tones and shades of grey in my photography class, I'm making some monochrome photos that I find especially soothing.

Oh, I seem to be taking alot of photos of yellow…which is funny to me as it is NOT one of my favorite colors!

Jamie Solorio says
I would so love to win this spot in Tracey's class! Thanks for the chance. When it comes to color, I find that I am attracted to warm tones. I would upload an image, but my laptop crashed the other night and I lost most everything!!!!!!!!! Please learn from my mistake and back up those precious images of yours!!!
J Gainey says
I love to get pics of sunrises and sunsets. Fiery colors such as red, orange, pinks and purples.

Kim says
I find that reds, pinks, oranges and greens all show up a lot in my photos. And everywhere else in my work, too. I am really drawn to all of those, although I think reds often take the lead.
I'm so excited for Tracey's class, too. I just love color! I'm planning to sign up, although now I think I'll wait a bit, just in case I win a registration. ๐
Dana Jacobson says
I love the classes I have been taking with Tracy. I cannot wait for picture Color. I have been really looking at yellow, since my daffadils have bloomed, but will be getting more soon. But love reds from sunsets and the Blue of my Boys eyes.
But here is a picture of my flower blooming.

Ooooooh color!! I love the picture classes!!! : )
abbeyviolet says
What a fun idea. It is sort of a scavenger hunt of color. I think it would translate nicely to my little too. Great fun!
Christine says
I'll have to pay closer attention to see if one color is drawing my attention right now. Lately I think it's green just because everything is starting to bloom.
Karen says
Yellow is what I'm drawn to right now, when winter still seems to be hanging on too long!

I'm taking Tracey's Picture Inspiration, and would love to win a spot in this new class.
Bree says
I have taken all of Tracey's classes and always leave so inspired.
Ranan says
The photo was beautiful. I really like red, and I just happen to like old bicycles too!! Thanks for the opportunity; Ive read that her classes are inspirational and great fun.
Kelly says
I don't know that I've ever seen a brighter burst of color than this. But I must say I am most drawn to the muted pink petals that curl around the base of all this showy brightness. Would love an opportunity in Tracey's class – thank you for the chance!

Claudia says
Purples. Definitely purples.
Andrea says
Strawberry color had caught my eye – seeing this fusion of red and pink in the fresh fruit, I could not resist taking these self portraits. The second picture is my favorite! The color made my day!

Blue Pine Mountain says
I'm in the Picture Inspiration class and am so enjoying it and learning from the others. My first class was Picture Winter. It changed how I see things and take pictures.
It's my birthday tomorrow April 14, but today I celebrate the last day of 56. It's been a wonderful year and I look forward to 57 – a really good sounding number and age. Maybe Picture Color would be a nice birthday gift? ๐
chris says
Sounds like a fun class. As much as I like black and white I always revert to color – bright and lively!

I think green is what I photograph most — when available, anyway. After a very long winter, I'm quite starved for green things to capture! The photo at the top of my latest blog post was an impulse shot of new green grass in my window: http://www.kimbyrns.ca/accordingtokim/2011/04/spring-has-sprung.html
I would love to win a spot in Picture Color!

That happens to me all the time! Because SoCal has gotten so much rain this season the dominant color seems to be green lately. ๐ Would love a spot in Tracey's class!!

I don't normally go for pink. I think I have been a bit of a tomboy for a lot of my life and only in recent years am I embracing my romantic side. I think I often thought pink was too girly and thought of Barbie dolls, but now I realise there are so many variations of tone that suit me and aren't too sort of plasticcy. Saying that, I do love this bright magnolia in all it's pink beauty.
I think spring, and being surrounded by new babies and expectant mothers is making me think of delicate, fresh life.
joey says
As the mother of four young boys, there's a lot of BLUE at our house.

I don't know that I shoot any particular color more than any other one. I'm just happy to have things of color to shoot now that spring has arrived. White, black, and gray were getting a bit tiring during our long, snowy winter. ๐

Blue skies. Lately they have been a deep blue and I am taking them all kinds of ways. This was one I took down the street while standing at my driveway and another from the backyard. Both were taken shortly before I posted them in my blog.

I love the inspiration and emotion conveyed in photos that exude or surprise with a particular color. Living in the mountains, it's a challenge to find color standouts during seasons other than spring. I'm excited about the possibility of participating in the upcoming color class; now that would be inspiring! Thanks for all you do for women and the photography community!
Tammy Hunt says
Reds, purples, oranges are a few of my fav's. I would LOVE to win this, I so need any extra helpI can get. Thanks for the chance!!

I love color, all colors — can't say I am focusing on one right now, but after the grey of winter they are all welcome.
This is one I took yesterday on our backyard of the snowball bush just staring to get new leaves and buds with the warmer weather we HAD been having, of course now it is back to chilly, grey and rainy.
