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 photo on AVweb.com?
Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
You guys sure know how to warm a web site's heart during
the autumn months — reader-submitted photos continue to arrive daily for
our "Picture of the Week" contest, and the quality is as high as its
ever been. This week saw nearly 160 submissions come our way (!),
so let's waste no time on chit-chat. On to the photos — !

All Clear on One!
Gary Grass of Vancouver, British
Columbia (Canada) tells the tale behind this rather ... er, unusual
pilot:
[A] lone Snowy Owl spent two days perched upon the
wing of the Martin Mars. I was in my office when a colleague said,
"You have to see this." He and I went out in our crew boat and
spent the next 30 minutes marveling on the wonderful life
opportunities we share. The weather was "Walks Off," and the little
guy just thought the Grand Old Lady suited his needs.
(Alas, we didn't run the head-on shot, Gary — this one was just too good
to pass up!)

Beginning of a Beautiful Day
Aaron Dabney of Hewitt, Texas wasn't
actually the photographer here — rather, his wife was doing camera duty
while Aaron took an introductory seaplane flight and Seattle's Kenmore
Air.
("Definitely want to finish the rating!" adds Aaron.) |

The Coolest Playset EVER!
Timothy O'Connor of Batavia, Ohio
just happened to spy this custom contraption in a backyard between
Cincinnati and Dayton. Nice! |

Early Morning Troop Deployment
Semi-regular contributor Jeff Randall
of Clyde, Texas returned this week with a batch of great photos —
but none captured our imagination like this long line of troops
filing into a DC-10 at 3:15am "bound for Pope Air Force Base,
North Carolina, and then on to Iraq."
Stay safe, fellas — and thanks.

More new photos are waiting for you on AVweb's home page,
in our "POTW"
slideshow. Don't miss 'em!
Look all you want, but don't forget to
send us your
photos, too! (Where do you think we get all these cool
pictures?)
—
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. ;)
A Reminder About Copyrights: Please take a moment to consider the
source of your image before submitting to our "Picture of the Week" contest.
If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed
authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you're uncertain,
consult the
POTW
Rules or
or
send us an e-mail.
