They say love comes in many guises, and the latest entries in our new photography competition prove the point.
"Love" is the theme of the picture contest in which readers are invited to send in images they've taken which evoke all aspects of the subject.
Ruth Carnegie's entry shows a deck of cards, with the seven, 10, ace and three of hearts cleverly arranged to spell Love.
The 41-year-old, from Desford, explained: "Everyone loves playing cards, don't they?
"I enjoy cards and photography, so thought I'd try to compose an interesting picture. It took me a while playing around with the deck before I realised I could arrange them to spell out love.
"I'm pretty pleased with it. It's a bit different."
Clair Robins, of Western Park, Leicester, sent in a picture of her beloved 11-week old daughter Polly doing what she loves the most – "drinking milk and falling asleep".
The shot of love hearts strewn across a table was taken by Vickie Hallam, 36, of Dane Hills, Leicester, while Georgina Neal, 19, from Wigston, plus friend, cast a love shadow on the grass in her summer sun entry.
