Your Photos is a chance for everyday amateur photographers to showcase their images. We do not plan to choose a winner, but will publish the best examples of photographs we receive.

Leaping dogs, playful horses and loveable cats all feature in our gallery and the images are a great mix of action and beautiful portraiture, which in some cases humanises our furry friends. Scroll through the best images in this gallery.

Our next theme is 'On the Move' so whether you like to get around on skateboard or by public transport or simply prefer air travel to two wheels, we'd like to see how you get from place to place, so get as creative as you like and send us your photos.

Email images to fstop@smh.com.au (DSLR or smartphone images) and please include your name, phone number, a caption for your photo or use the hashtag #smhyourphotos to tweet your image. "Your Photos" will next be published online on August 22.
Leading up to the Federal election we will be inviting you to share photos of your election experience - keep an eye out for our alerts.
