Among the images are those that were selected the best overall shot by SBLive staff in our Photos of the Month feature (August-May) and the remaining photos were chosen by the director of photography from ones that were included among the POTM for this past sports year.

NOW it's up to you to vote for YOUR favorite shot from among the 16 featured below. Voting ends on August 6 and the winning image will be announced following that.
