A selection of some of the best pictures on this week's theme of missing.

  • Missing marble

    Every week we publish a gallery of readers' pictures on a set theme. This week the theme was missing and we start with a photograph taken by Ted Anderson: "A marble game on our living room window, with one marble missing."

  • Sock in washing machine

    Martin Wells: "As we all know washing machines eat socks. Here's one I managed to snap just in time. The wide angle lens was placed just inside the door of the washing machine and the flash angled away from the camera to control the direction of the light to avoid blown highlights."

  • Child with football

    Craig Eastman: "I recently developed a roll of exposed colour film I found in a camera purchased in a charity shop. The film was Kodacolor 100 VR which dates back to between 1982-1986. I developed in black and white chemicals as I figured I had a better chance of recovering some images, and here are the results. In a very real sense these photographs are 'missing'. I'd love to trace the owner. It looks as though they may have been taken on a beach holiday somewhere in the UK."

  • Missing lens

    Christine Le Friec: "I love this photograph of my daughter skylarking on a coach tour with her orchestra."

  • Baby's shoe

    Carla Grande: "This is just a random baby's shoe I saw in one stroll through Barcelona's El Borne. Somebody must have picked it up and put it on a window sill with the intention of making it more visible."

  • Leaf

    Sofia Graves: "I took this picture in Costa Rica. These large leaves are everywhere, often with missing bits in the most wonderful patterns."

  • Menin Gate

    Jasper Dalgliesh: "This photograph is of the Menin Gate, Ypres, Belgium, and shows a few of the 54,896 names of British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed around Ypres in World War 1. Some whose bodies have never been found."

  • Airport

    Peter Stanley: "Stains left on the wall in the waiting lounge of the Pemba Airport, Mozambique."

  • Jars with coloured water

    Pauline Richardson: "One jar mssing in a market in Marrakesh, wonder what colour it is? "

  • School buses

    Dana Pasca-Hossu: "School’s out on Sunday, but there are some buses missing from this lot. Gone on a fun trip, I hope!"

  • Angel statue

    And finally Thomas Gannage-Stewart: "Angel Without Wings". To mark world pinhole day our next theme is "pinhole". If you'd like to enter, send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. Further details and terms can be found by following the link below this gallery.
