Original – Polaroid taken by Mary Moorman on November 22, 1963, at Dealy Plaza. President Kennedy was fatally shot an estimated 0.6 seconds after it was taken. The bullet has just impacted JFK's head while Jacqueline Kennedy leans over in concern.

Reason

This polaroid photograph by Mary Moorman is not of the best technical quality, but its historical value is immense and was achieved though astonishing luck (albeit unfortunate in context).

• Comment You can make out what's happening if you look at JFK at the motorcade. There are no other photographs of the event like this one. JJARichardson (talk) 17:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
