As we edit The Week in Pictures each Thursday, we look for images that are great photographs as well as those that cause a visceral reaction. For me, this sweet image made me laugh each time I came across it, but photographically, it didn't hold up to the several other "summer fun" images we had to choose from, and it didn't make the final edit for July 1 - 8. See the final edit of the slideshow here.

Would you have included this image? Which image do you like best this week, and why?
