This week is the first England's Big Picture gallery Takeover, where we are working with photography groups across England to celebrate their communities through members' pictures.
The gallery images are being selected by the team at .
Find out how to submit your images and how to host a Takeover below.
Photographer Bhavesh Patel says: "It's a usual scene that I come across, with the Radisson showing in between the buildings either side and the Grand Central sign prominent. But on this day the light was cutting across the road as the sun went down"
Dylan McElroy took this photograph of the "iconic" Selfridges building in Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre
Joel Foster Finn, who took this photograph in the Library of Birmingham, says: "I loved the strong silhouette and the 'halos' of light"
Hardeep Singh Rattan took this photograph of Grand Central in Birmingham. Hardeep says: "This vantage point allows [me] to capture not only the hustle and bustle of shoppers and commuters on the concourse, but also the beautiful architecture and mesmerising leading lines of the roof"
This photograph was taken by Alexa Jones in the Custard Factory, Birmingham. Alexa says: "Digbeth is my favourite part of Brum - buzzy, creative, historic, colourful and individual"
Jay Sidhu captured this shot of traffic outside The Mailbox in Birmingham, using a special exposure technique. "The image is made up of 70 six second exposures merged together to give a slightly different style of light trails," Jay says.
Matt Dolman took this photograph in the Gas Street Basin, Birmingham. He says: "I looked to take a different picture of The Cube. The canal boats in the foreground were my main focus as I thought they were interesting from this angle"
