Out of the 988 featured pictures on Wikimedia Commons in 2012, the five below were voted the best of the best. I haven't perused all 988 photos, but the 5 below are certainly worthy:
1. A pair of European bee-eaters. The female awaits the offering which the male will make.
2. A long filament of solar material erupted out of the Sun's atmosphere
3. High-speed photography of a light bulb shot with an airsoft pistol.
4. A wide evening view to Måbødalen in Eidfjord municipality, Norway.
5. Yak near Yamdrok Lake, Tibet
