Each week, we publish a gallery of readers' pictures on a set theme. This week it is "splash of colour".

  • A frog emerging from a flower john brown

    John Brown: "A friend owns a collection of frogs which he allows me to photograph. We allow the frogs to do pretty much anything they want with the props we use on the day."

  • A woman in red Wayne Rathbone

    Wayne Rathbone: "A Namibian lady from the Himba people covered in Otjize paste, a mixture of butterfat and ochre pigment. The paste is used to protect her skin against the hot sun."

  • Flamingos in water Peter Ellis

    Peter Ellis: "These flamboyant flamingos were photographed at The National Zoological Gardens of South Africa in Pretoria."

  • Fighter jets in the sky Cally Stephens

    Cally Stephens: "The Red Arrows at the Royal Naval Air Station in Yeovilton this year."

  • Fireworks over a bridge Che Meriales

    Che Meriales; "This photo was taken from across the Saint Lawrence River during the Montreal Fireworks Festival on a hot summer night. Silhouetted against the smoke is the Jacques Cartier Bridge, which was closed to traffic. You can actually walk up and watch the fireworks up close and personal."

  • A pile of radishes Brian Morris

    Brian Morris: "Radishes on sale at a Sunday farmers' market in New York."

  • A Novice Monk has a bit of fun at the Hsinbyume Pagoda in Mandalay, Myanmar Louisa Purvis

    Daniel Furon: "A submarine sits on a splash of dyes."

  • Some dried flowers John Allen

    John Allen: "I had taken several still life shots of these tulips over a number of days. When the petals began to fall, they told a very different story. They still had those bright colours, now mixed with the sense of things passing, of time moving on."

  • A ring in water Les Golding

    Les Golding captured this life float in a bright blue pool. The next theme is "skies" and the deadline for your entries is 7 August.
