Pictures of the Week: Dec. 9-15

This was one of my favorite images this week -- not for what it is, but for what it isn't. It's not a beautifully composed image that tells a story in a clear way. Instead, it is an image that is both eye-catching and open to interpretation. 

In fact when I first saw the photo, I thought it was a shot of a dancer jumping into a spray of water. Another photo editor thought it was a surfer. It turns out to be neither. It's a photo of a Kuwaiti diver as he jumps off the 1-meter springboard during the diving competition at the Asian Games.

So what was your first impression? A piece of artwork? A dancer? A diver?

Check out all of this week's pictures, and cast your vote for the best photo: Pictures of the Week.
