Past Winners
Each week, we go through dozens (and sometimes
hundreds) of reader-submitted photos and pick the very best to share
with you on Thursday mornings. The top photos are featured on
AVweb's home page, and one photo
that stands above the others is awarded an AVweb baseball cap as our
"Picture of the Week."
Want to see your photos featured?
Submit them here!
A quick note for submitters: If you've got several
photos that you feel are "POTW" material, your best bet is to submit
them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing
print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on
us, too. ;)
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
This week's "POTW" submissions started out gloomy and
overcast, but the weather in your photos gradually brightened — even as
storm clouds piled up outside out window. Rain is headed up the
East Coast as we write this, but at least we've got a few sunny, perfect
summer days to pine over, thanks to our latest batch of reader-submitted
photos.
Remember: It takes more pictures than ever
to fill up our expanded "POTW" slideshow on the home page! We can
only share 'em if you do, so please —
keep submitting
your photos!

Sunrise at the Wings of Carolina Flying Club
As much as we love action, adventure, and a cool airplane shape, nothing
beats the perfect balance of color and atmosphere — a balance that drove
this photo from Cary, North Carolina's Stephen
Foster to the top of the stack this week.
As this week's "POTW" winner, Stephen will receive a handy (and
not-too-bad-looking) AVweb baseball cap in the mail. Plus,
his photo will be seen by everyone who wanders past the office this
week, since we've made it our new desktop wallpaper.

After the Morning Shower ...
Speaking of the transition from rain to shine:
Donald Reid of Bumpass, Virginia
snapped this photo on a rainy Sunday morning at the Virginia Regional
EAA Fly-In last October. "Beautiful clouds and damp planes" left
in the wake of the shower made great subjects for Donald and his camera. |

Rainbow over East Bay
If "Here Comes the Sun" is the unofficial anthem of this installment of
"POTW," then Terry Wallace of
Sacramento, California provides the perfect coda to this week's
submissions. This shot of what Terry calls "a pretty intense
rainbow" might be one of the best aerial rainbow shots we've ever
received — and we've seen quite a few!
Big thanks to Terry, Donald, Stephen, and everyone else who submitted
this week. To see more pictures (over a dozen more!), don't forgot
to visit the AVweb home page
— where you'll also snippets and links to all our stories from this past
week. |
