A Week in Pictures by MSNBC

The photographer who took this picture of a bicyclist being upended after hitting a pothole submerged in rainwater in Xiamen, China, is coming under fire. Critics say he was lying in wait to capture an unfortunate incident instead of warning people about the impending danger. The photographer defends himself by arguing that without his pictures, the government would have never noticed the pothole.

Where's the Ball?
Golfer Jason Dufner, left, and rules official Tony Wallin, center, survey the situation after Dufner's drive off the first tee ended up in the lap of embarrassed spectator Miranda Cooper, 18, during the third round of the Quail Hollow Championship tournament in Charlotte, N.C., on May 2. A marker was placed under her chair and Dufner played the hole without penalty.
