Sadia Qureshi: "The Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago is famous for its beautiful architecture, extravagance, and artsy store window displays all year round. I enjoy strolling around finding something new to capture every time I go. I captured this photo at the front of a closed store, the dark glass of which reflected beautifully what was across it, as if saying, 'I am you.'"

We asked our readers to send in their pictures on the theme of "reflections" amid the coronavirus pandemic. Here are some of the pictures sent to us from around the world.

News imageStephan Martin Hotel sign reflected in a puddleStephan Martin
Stephan Martin: "It shows rain water that accumulated in a Paris street gutter, reflecting a hotel sign and a bit of sky. To me it is reality catching up with fiction, in the same way street artists paint trompe-l'oeil frescoes to create an optical illusion. Here, the reflection brings an escape from the dense urban surroundings."

Carrina Blake: "Adam posed in a bear mask in front of a mirror. Adam and Jack are my twin sons. It represents life as a twin - looking the same, but sometimes wearing a mask and feeling different, being compared with each other and searching for what makes you unique. Always having a comparison reflected back at you and knowing that you're not alone."
