Your pictures: Minimal

We start this week's gallery of readers' pictures on the theme of minimal with a picture by Douglas Tanner.

Miles Storey: "This was taken in Toronto, Canada, and shows a rocky formation just off the beach into Lake Ontario. I took this shot just before the sun came up using a long exposure time of 69 seconds, enough to blur away any movement in the water."

David Johns: "These pictures were taken in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, on a walk around the lake with my girlfriend. What appeared to be underexposed pictures on a gloomy day provided some interesting reflections in the water."

Emma Jackman: "Along the Californian coastline at McWay Falls, where a beautiful waterfall was meant to be the object of focus, I captured this more urbane shot of a couple taking in the view."

Raj Mannick: "While snapping away at this sunset in Turkey, my friend Julie couldn't help but make the Sun seem minimal."

Mari Huws: "A world that is minimal."

Mark Ridley: "The delicious curve of a pony's neck at the Miniature Pony Centre, Dartmoor."

Carla Caramujo: "A small pine tree thrives on minimal conditions in a sand dune in southern Portugal."

Drew Shipe: "My room-mate and I made do with minimal furnishings the week before move-out. I took advantage of the sparsely furnished living room and used our vintage couch as a prop for a portrait."

Nigel Walker: "This was taken at San Pedro, Belize. Although it was mid-morning there was no-one around. The scene was one of anticipation, waiting for someone to arrive."

Danijel Dazdja: "Part of the bridge on the river Tamis in Pancevo, Serbia."

Natalie Schell: "I love the contrast between the yellow grass and the blue sky. The simplicity of the tree and its shadow highlights the vast landscape of the Masai Mara, Kenya."
