Last week, we asked you to keep your eye out for circular patterns and submit the best ones to this week’s Mashable Photo Challenge.
For example, the Olympics' iconic logo is a five-ring symbol. But we asked you to go beyond that image and come up with your own versions of rings.
You sent us all kinds of circular patterns and creative interpretations of our theme. From a spiral staircase to the cross sections of various pieces of fruit, you defined rings in all kinds of original ways.
We chose some of our favorite photos and included them in the above gallery. Check out all of the submissions by heading over to our photo page.
One stunning picture shows a basketball hoop from below; another displays the reflected arches of a bridge form circles on the water below. From the rings in a spider's web to shape of a hay round, the photos this week capture rings both manmade and natural.
