Capturing a moment in a photograph is what we strive for every time we shoot. Though it often proves elusive, it remains rewarding when achieved. In this image, photographer Jonathon Gruenke from the Kalamazoo Gazette successfully captured "a moment." I love how the girl on the swing is framed by the chain of the empty swing, and how the second shadow confuses us for a moment, and then we appreciate the thought and humor that went into identifying this "moment."
So, as you are out this Memorial Day weekend, be sure to take your camera along and try to capture a moment -- not merely a snapshot, but an image that captures a fleeting moment at just the right time. A decisive moment that most likely will not happen again. And if you are able to capture that or see an image somewhere that you feel is a "Picture of the Week," then send us a link in a reply here.
Please take a moment to take a look at all of the Pictures of the Week, and please be sure to vote for the image that you feel is the most compelling.

Just think it's a once in a lifetime shot. Curious as to where the potographer was standing? Great composition!...
That's a superb shot, for all the reasons you point out. Like the comment before me, I have to say, I'm curious as to where the photographer was standing. B. x
Fantasitc shot! And a very difficult one to capture! to think this happened in a split second. and the photographer managed to capture it so perfectly!
It IS ah very good photograph but not great by professional PJ standards....The "where was he standing" really makes NO difference
