Your pictures on poker onlinthe theme of 'monochrome' 9 March 2025ShareSaveShareSaveWe asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "monochrome". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.Martyn LongthornMartyn Longthorn: "A pelican making a splash."Ian MaggioreIan Maggiore: "Early morning frost in my back garden."Theresa BennettTheresa Bennett: "To help our garden butterflies, I planted a patio tub with cosmos seeds and was rewarded with a huge show of photogenic pink flowers. I think they make a fantastic monochrome subject."David BeltonDavid Belton: "The Aldeburgh Scallop is a sculpture on Aldeburgh beach, in Suffolk. I took this photo whilst on holiday there last year."Sally EsauSally Esau: "This house caught my eye whilst on holiday in Rhodes [Greece]. The gate was open and I could see there was washing hanging on the line and I also noticed the pretty pebbled mosaic pathway. Just as I got my camera ready to take a photo, a black cat strolled across the wall and I managed to capture it in the perfect position. I think the dark gates and the cat add a nice contrast to the image, especially with the monochrome effect."Sean CorlettSean Corlett: "I had always wanted to visit and photograph the art installation on Crosby beach called Another Place, by Antony Gormley. I was travelling back through Liverpool on the way back from a training course and decided to head there. I took this shot with a slow shutter and handheld to give the picture a dreamy look."Phil NortonPhil Norton: "A ram stands like a statue as a storm approached Chatsworth House [Derby]."Glyn HandsGlyn Hands: "I wonder what the photograph of me that this lady was taking looks like? It would be interesting to compare the two photographs together, capturing a moment in time."Piyusha ParadkarPiyusha Paradkar: "Kaleidoscope of family, through light and shadow."Uku S??tUku S??t: "Shadows tell a story reality can't."Duncan GreyDuncan Grey: "My then girlfriend posed outside a cafe in a London park. The window merged the customers into the path outside in a slightly ghostly way."Doris EndersDoris Enders: "Layers of the past. It's taken in the Blue Mesa, in Arizona, which looks in black and white as stunning as in colour."Kate SnowKate Snow: "Dandelions have captured our imagination since we were children, picking and blowing the seeds into the wind. Their beauty does not fade as we age but is simply captured in different ways. Here, I use a macro lens to photograph the detail while allowing some aspects to blur, creating depths and an ethereal feeling as I try to capture the magic of the simple dandelion."Ludo MacAulayLudo MacAulay: "I was trying some street photography in Edinburgh recently and caught this man passing Melville Street."Tony CookTony Cook: "Sunlight through windows in Hereford Cathedral created a moody atmosphere."Roland TropeRoland Trope: "On a May morning, I paused to watch two men playing chess in Central Park [New York]. As one of them lifted his bishop and reached across the board to relocate it as his move, I took the photograph."Evelyn OakleyEvelyn Oakley: "I can't resist a patch of sunlight on a white wall and the opportunity it presents for shadow play and monochrome photography."Emma WarrenEmma Warren: "My monochrome cat sitting still enough to snap, for once - although he's eyeing up his next moment of mischief."Elena RaikhlinElena Raikhlin: "My goal was to transform ordinary household rolls of toilet paperinto abstract paper art by composing texture, light, and shadow."The next theme is "my best photo" and the deadline for entries is 18 March.The pictures will be published later that week and you will be able to find them, along with other galleries, on the In Pictures section of the BBC News website.You can upload your entries directly here or email them to yourpics@bbc.co.uk.Terms and conditions apply.Further details and themes are at: We set the theme, you take the pictures.All photographs subject to copyright.Photography
