Pictures of the Week: Sept. 23-29

Although the images that appear in the Pictures of the Week gallery are the best news images available for a given week, I didn't think that there was one, single image that stood out this week. It's like that sometimes.That said, there were elements in the gallery that are worth noting:
 
The combination of symmetry with the shock of red made the picture of the ostrich chicks stand out.
 
The student dressed as a penguin on the ground in front of a line of Chilean riot police made me curious. Why was that penguin on the ground? Was he attacked by riot police with a disdain for flightless birds?  
 
The photo of the DC-10 jet dropping fire retardant caught my eye -- perhaps because I saw the video on CNN and thought it was an unusual sight. A big aircraft that close to the flames. Scary.
 
I like the fact that the photographer chose to include the red carpet in the photo of people watching as the opera "Madame Butterfly" is projected live in Times Square. It adds a theatrical element that gives context to the image of the audience.
 
So -- which images moved you or caught your eye? Take a look and vote ... and find out if other  viewers agree with you. Check out all of this week's pictures: Pictures of the Week: Sept. 23-29
