Every year, at around this time, the various media outlets out together their “best-of” features. Spending some time going through any of these can probably teach any photography a lot about composition, light, and storytelling. Most people I know love these features and you can easily spend a long time with each of them. For today’s phototip, I’ve collected links to best of 2010 features from a wide range of media sources. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy some of the world’s most stunning photography from a busy year.

• AFP World Cup – AFP’s round up of the best World Cup images.
• Associated Press – AP’s best of 2010 news photos.
• Billboard – The best of the music and entertainment world from Billboard.
• The Big Picture – Boston.com’s famed photo blog has a three part series for 2010. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.
