Pictures of the Week: June 16-22

This week's photograph of the people watching as water gushes out of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir at China's Yellow River contains understated drama. The photographer positioned himself at just the right level so that the colors that appear in the image are highlighted against the backdrop of the water spray, the people and umbrellas provide us with a sense of scale. The simplicity of elements in this photo serves to add to the drama, and we are left with a sense of the power and the beauty at the sight of this great rush of water.

Check out all the other dramatic images that make up this week's collection of Pictures of the Week and be sure to vote for the one you think is best.
