If you are a photography lover, you've probably asked yourself in the past about what makes photography so cool. Each of us have an answer to that, but without doubt, one of the coolest and most defining things about photography is its ability to freeze time, to capture a single moment in history that will never happen again.

Like the great Henri Cartier Bresson once put it, it is the decisive moment. Well, these moments are rare, but when you do succeed in capturing one, you will most likely end up with a memorable photo. The following 31 images are exactly what the title describes them to be: perfectly timed instances that seemed to be carefully choreographed by the universe or skillfully Photoshopped by a pro.

Most of them are snapshots or family photos, but that again, no one ever said that only professionals can take incredible images.

Enjoy!
