Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Welcome back to AVweb‘s “Picture of the Week” feature! Jerry L. Morris of Dahlonega, Georgia sped past our astonished eyes with this shot of “a copy of a 1910 Hanriot taken at [the] September 2, 2007 Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Air Show” to take this week’s top spot. We’ve been riding high on reader submissions for quite some time, but this week saw the tide of photos ebb a bit. We realize that everyone is recuperating from the holidays, but we start to feel a little unloved if we get fewer than a hundred photo submissions in a week. (Yes, we’re incorrigible. And you can submit your photos here.)

Submit a Photo | Rules | Tips | Questions | 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.

Darian Williams of Hazard, Kentucky treated us to a couple of photos from Idaho's Lake Coeur d'Alene. This one reminded us of the halcyon days of summer (and the fact that we never get to spend any time ogling seaplanes at Oshkosh). | |||||||||||||

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 thePOTW Rules ororsend us an e-mail.
