Your pictures on the theme of 'still life'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "still life". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

Tom Plucinski: "I was grateful for a helping hand arranging this still life."

Leigh Parsons: "Shiny conkers remind me of golden autumn days of childhood."

Peter Charman: "I captured this tiny yellow mushroom group in Epping Forest. I think they look like the Beatles with their mop tops."

Victor Tregubov: "Sweet stall at the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, Turkey."

Adrian Hunter: "A pile of buoys in the fishing village of Bang Saray, Thailand."

Moira Sharpe: "I make stained glass, and this koi carp is taken in front of a light box. I love the way it seems frozen in mid flight."
