Picture of the Week
AVweb experienced some server problems over the weekend, and many “POTW” submissions were lost. Some came through mangled or partially submitted, but many have disappeared into the cyber-aether. (Which is why our “POTW” selection this week is a bit smaller than usual.) We apologize for the inconvenience, but if you’ve submitted a photo for consideration during the last seven days (and you don’t see it in this week’s winners), then please take a few moments to re-submit. We realize it’s a hassle for some of you, but — well, quite frankly, we really like looking at your pictures every week and can’t help but feel like we’ve missed some really good ones this week. (We were able to make out a few tail fins and the tops of some heads in many of the mangled shots.) Thankfully, the pictures that did come through were stellar. We’d put Kevin Orr‘s winning photo up against anyone’s, from any week! For those of you astounded at Kevin’s luck in getting such a terrific shot, consider this: He didn’t even have to leave his driveway to do it. Not a bad day’s work, Kevin. We’re cutting you a check for one official AVweb “POTW” baseball hat even as you read this — watch your mailbox! Remember: Kevin won this week’s hat because he took time to submit his photo. We’d love to see yours!
