Happy New Year everyone!! Looking forward to this year, loving my big camera and loving photography at the moment! I started the year with a win - first proper go at bird photography at a little nature reserve bird hide, and a real challenge with my only telephoto lens - a fungusy Tamron 80-210mm film lens to help me improve my manual focus skills. Really pleased with how they came out, as long as you avoid any zoomed-in pixel peeping!

Anyways, my Week 1 - Food submission aims bring to mind the post-Christmas gloom, the lingering viruses and the resolve to be a healthier version of yourself than you were the year before.... and perhaps the guilt of breaking resolutions before the middle of the month?!

Week 2 - Cold... all camera phone pics I'm afraid. The last three (the final of which is my entry for this week) is a large forzen puddle on a local walkway, which looked to me like a river running through wetlands and a snow-covered forest viewed from the air! I've included a picture of an adjacent puddle with my feet in shot for perspective.

Week 1 is good I like the inclusion of the medicinal item.
Your entry for cold is quite abstract, Its good.
 
I really like your cold image - very nicely seen and composed.
Food - on theme and a reminder to me of what I should be eating :)
 
Not sure the Jakemans are healthy food ;) Good stuff though.
OCD me is drawn to the empty socket that has the power turned on...

I do like the cold photo. It makes me wonder how it formed like that.
 
Love the abstract cold shot!
 
Great shots for both themes Ross, hard to choose between them all.
 
Wow, just caught up with everyone's submissions over the last few weeks... some amazing content and inspiration to keep reaching for the camera!! :)

So week 3 - Graffiti - Being late to the party I've realised a skatepark wasn't a very original choice - but I did wait for a nice morning and grabbed a few morning light shots too..

Having said that, first shot was a camerphone grab from a community garden near St Pancras station - the irony of the message underneath the barbed wire seems very appropriate at the moment...

The rest are from the local skatepark with my Nikkor 50mm 1.4 which, in good light, I'm really enjoying and amazed by considering it's age

Nice selection there!
 
Great set Ross. I really like your chosen shot but the first image, just because of the irony, would have made an excellent choice as well.

I really liked the third image, just because it took me a little while to understand what I was seeing.
