As mentioned at the end of last week’s Pic of the Week, we’ve decided to open the contest up and make it as fair as possible by asking you, the good-looking, intelligent, art-appreciating people that you are, to decide this week’s overall winner.
So join us after the jump to see this week’s photos and vote on which you think deserves to win the right to be called Pic of the Week.
We received dozens of superb entries this week, and once again the quality of your photos was absolutely first class. Sadly, we can’t post every single photo we received, but after much debate we decided on 10 that really spoke to us and we felt deserved a shot at the top. Now it’s down to you, dear reader, to tell us which of the following photos you think is the best!
