Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
We’ve had an uptick in military photos lately (with a strong emphasis on fighter jets), but Craig Stephens of Savannah, Georgia bring us a chopper serving its tour of duty in Korea.

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 ***
Ready for another helping of visual goodness from your fellow AVweb readers? We certainly are, so let's dive in!

Rob Neil of Porirua, Wellington (New Zealand) flies us out this week. Rob says he got up at the crack of dawn "deliberately to catch the early light and get some interesting shots." We'd say it was worth it. | |||||||||||||

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.
