Update:
In light of the fact that we DO have members that are in the summer time season, I have expanded my topic to include the word "COLD". So you can indeed take a picture of snow, but you can also take a picture that reflects the word "COLD". I look forward to seeing what you all have.
Put on your thinking caps, have fun and enjoy!

Inside My Freezer!!!
Okay, I did it. I found something to photograph that could be in anyone's place...summer or winter. I have just come through three winter blizzards...and had plenty of choices...but to help inspire others I wanted something that could have come from anyone, anywhere.
The photo is the inside of an ice cream bucket cover...and the ice crystals that have formed there. I also used my new (to me) K10d camera. The date attached is wrong...I have not yet re-programed my camera(Just got it in the mail yesterday
)...This picture was taken 5 minutes ago.
DATA:
Pentax K10d
Date: Jan 14th 2011
Flashed : not used
Exposure time .125s (1/
Manual
Extension tube
Lens: Helios-44-2

First I would like to say thank you all for submitting a photo.
I see it was quite a challenge, but the faithful has come through the cold competition.
I will do my best, giving my honest opinion based on the knowledge I have thus far.(I am still learning)
Steve Everitt - Is that cold enough?
Thank you for your photo ,Yes it is cold enough!
I sent Steve a personal e-mail letting him know it was a great picture.
It could not be in the competition
as the time & date was not within the alotted two week period.
Again Steve, thank you for the first picture.
JudithAnn - Inside my freezer.
Lots of detail in those ice cystal, with a specific depth of field.
You made yourself quite a challange having three winter blizzard, then using the freezer
.
Thanks for your efforts in inspiring others.
DR. Orloff - The lunar surface at night -150(THAT COVERS COLD!)
Wow, love the detailed surface. It does have its own stunning effect.
The shadow and light gave it an incredible cold and barren look. The photo was very soft however.
It was a creative take on the "Cold topic". (it was nice that anyone, anywhere could have done this too...summer or winter!)
I have yet to capture the moon...like that!
Sandinista - Frozen Peas
This is great ,love the depth of field. The peas are crips and clear capturung the frost in detail.They do look cold!
Maybe it would be better if the black space was all filled in with the peas, or you cropped it out.
Never the less I like the picture. Well done.
Aliengrove - Cold Valley
Love the angle of this photo!!The way it is looking down in the valley, with great depth of field. The eyes seeing the vastness of the great beyond.
It is a little washout in the center left side. But then again, you are up 32000 feet!
Great shades of blues, whites, and grays.
When the photo is enlarged, one can see the amazing details and it was even more fantastic! It was right on the topic, and what I was wanting.
GlynM - Frosty car
Hey this is great! Absolutely loved it.
It was a perfect choice to use B&W. I loved its clearity and that it had no distaction of colour. Shows the cold in its simple but true form.
Great angle! Great orginal idea!
Funny for us Canadians to see the wheel peeking out on the left side.
Wonderful piece of photography!!
Now the result;
First place: GlynM - Frosty car
Second place: Aliengrove - Cold Valley
Third place Sandinista - Frozen Peas
Commended:

Gosh, what a surprise. I had Aliengrove's cold valley as my winning entry. However many thanks Darlene for your great set of comments, judging and, of course for giving my last minute entry the winning slot.
I also have to add my humble thanks for the excellent way you handled my rather grumpy comments about the choice of subject at the start of the competition.
Rather unexpectedly the choice of a new subject is mine now. I will have a think about it overnight and set a new challenge tomorrow.
