Your pictures of the week: Clouds

Phil Coomes | 10:02 UK time, Thursday, 1 April 2010

Your pictures of clouds, photo by Jeff Davies

Each week we ask you to send in your pictures on a theme, this week we were looking for pictures of clouds.

We had a huge response with more than 800 pictures in our inbox which meant I had a tough time selecting just 12 for this week's gallery.

You can see the ones I have selected here.

As you can imagine we had lots of sunset photographs but in the end I decided that the sunsets captured by Tim Willcox and Aida Sheikholeslami deserved a place in the gallery alongside the other interpretations of the theme.

Your pictures of cloudsI hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and if you have any comments to make, you can do so below.

If your picture didn't make this week's selection, why not send us something for next week?

The new theme is "wheels".

Interpret this in any way you see fit and send your pictures to us at yourpics@bbc.co.uk or upload them directly from your computer.

Please include the word "wheels" in the subject line of your message.

The deadline is midnight GMT Tuesday 6 April 2010, and remember to add your name and a caption: who, what, where and when should be enough, though the more details you give, the better your chance of being selected.

We will publish a selection of your photos this time next week.

You can now see a list of the next four themes on this page which will be updated each week.

Files should be sent as JPEGs. They shouldn't be larger than 10Mb and ideally much smaller: around 1Mb is fine, or you can resize your pictures to 1,000 pixels across.

Please see our terms and conditions, but remember that the copyright remains with you. The pictures will only be used by the BBC for the purposes of this project. Finally, when taking photos, please do not endanger yourself or others, take unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.

    According the best songwriter around, Dave Berman of the Silver Jews, we need to look atthe clouds for the Animal Shapes.

    Later on, somewhere else, I said some things I didn't mean.
    Yes, I know everybody's on a first name basis with the king.
    From a corner window, I watch the falling snowflakes.
    God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes.

    Some really nice photos there Phil. Shame about that sepia one, it would have looked really good in colour.

    I'm gutted I didn't know about this before, I've been photographing the sky for several years now and have many pics of clouds etc. on my website here: http://davidsonmick.squarespace.com/sky/
    My favourite one here is the first one, great colours and contrasts, the composition is minimal, and the whole thing beautifully exposed. Cheers,

    I agree few of the photos chosen are nice but not all. For example the 4th photo. "A cloud of steam from a miniature steam engine"...The engine is not even visible in the photo.
