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?

*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
Last week, we at "POTW" headquarters were feeling a bit
neglected, and we asked — some might even say begged — our
readership to flood us with photo submissions and boost our spirits.
Boy, did you guys ever come through! (If only everyone were as
dependable as AVweb readers.)

Midwinter Overnight
Bengt Olson of Hindås, Sweden brings
the contrast this week. His colorful photo of "a Finnair A321
parked at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport under the winter sky" took our
breath away — and even managed capture an AVweb baseball cap in
between breaths. |

Reflections of Power
Remember Jerry L. Morris of
Dahlonega, Georgia? We thought you might — he was last week's "POTW"
winner and very nearly cadged the honor for an unprecedented two weeks
in a row. This incredible shot came from Davenport Air Show last
June. |

Nieuports Are Fun!
Dick Lemons of Kansas City, Missouri
always seems to be having a good time in the photos he submits. In
this one, snapped by Dick Starks,
the happy-go-lucky Mr. Lemons shows off his Graham Lee Nieuport XI
Replica. |

Dreaming of a White Christmas
We know the song was set in California (on December 24, even!), but
somehow we doubt Chuck Spaulding of
Agoura Hills was dreaming of this sort of white Christmas when the photo
was snapped on Christmas Eve at Camarillo Airport. |

Shrike Commander over the Grenadines
Paul Gravel of St. Vincent &
the Grenadines (in the Caribbean) sets imaginations soaring with
our final photo of the week.
Until next time, thanks to Paul, Chuck, Dick, Jerry, Bengt, and
everyone else who shared their flying adventures with us this
week.
We can't
wait to see everyone else's photos!

Want more reader-submitted photos? It's a good bet you'll enjoy the
slideshow on our home page.
—
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.
