Capturing the Essence of 'Texture' through Your Photographs

Our readers were asked to submit their best photographs depicting the theme of "texture". We received a diverse collection of images from around the world, which we are delighted to showcase here. For our next edition, we have chosen the theme of "hobbies". The submission deadline for this theme is 25 October 2023. All selected photos will be featured later that week and available for viewing on the In Pictures section of the BBC News website, alongside other galleries. To participate, you can either upload your entries on this page or send them via email to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. Please note that terms and conditions apply.
