Your pictures: Hands

Each week we publish a gallery of readers' pictures on a set theme. This week the theme is hands, and we start with a photograph by Renie Guinto: "A man with the iron hand, err, might have been bronze actually. This is one of the sculptures at Wellington waterfront."

Brian Sassmann: "A healthy snack of dried fish offered to us in the hands of our dhow boat captain on Lake Tanganika, Tanzania."

Jim Young: "A hand print in the concrete near a water stop tap in Boston USA."

Steven Leeming: "It is easy to forget how closely related we actually are. I took this shot of a pig-tailed macaque's hand whilst working in a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Greece."

Neil Farley: "The hand of a Robotech model, taken for an aperture assignment for the photography course I'm currently enrolled on."

Mark Stant: "Mark and Liz Stant's baby Lottie, from Hedge End, Southampton."

Slesha Dhakal: "An Indian elephant discreetly passes his mahout his income, generated by locals paying the elephant to bless them with his trunk over their heads."

Kaptan Jungteerapanich: "Bangkok commuters on the skytrain during rush hour in the morning."

Christine Sadler: "My husband enjoying one of our chicken's newly laid eggs."

And finally, a sumo wrestler prepares for battle at the Ryogoku Kokugikan hall in Tokyo, sent in by Nick Thomas. Next week the theme is shadows, and the deadline for your entries is 5 July.
