Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Another week has come and gone, it’s time for another installment of our weekly photo contest. Let’s dive in and get started! Brian Thorpe of St. Augustine, Florida takes home this week’s top honors, in a photo submitted to our weekly contest by his subjects, Carl Pascarell and Missy Fohl. (Not to worry – we’ll be sending hats for both of you guys!)
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.

You'll find more reader-submitted photos in the slideshow on AVweb's home page. Don't miss 'em!
-
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.
