a picture of yours, or a picture of you? #2 (permalink) Wed May 07, 2008 10:43 am   a picture of yours, or a picture of you?
 

yours = The picture can contain anyone/anything and belongs to you.

Or: yours = a picture of something you own/possess

e.g.

This is a picture of my house and this is one of yours. (i.e. your house)

you = the picture contains you, but may or may not belong to you
