I've been thinking about it too, and here are some ideas:
Fossils, photography (a photo is a frozen moment), mummies,
a contact with infinity...
If someone has more, share them :-).

I think of those as static events. I was thinking more along the lines
of something in motion captured in a single frame such as a coconut
falling from a tree, a picture of a hand holding the queen just at
the moment when she is knocking over the king during a chess match,
two children playing with a beach ball on the beach with the ball
suspended in the air between them,  an old couple sitting on a park
bench, a babies first step frozen in time or the back of Hitlers
head exploding as the suicide bullet exits his skull. At least that
is the way I am interpreting it :)

My thoughts are going alone the 'frozen' line, rather than moment.
A wooly mammoth, frozen in a glacier forever.

My first reaction was to think of the novel "Naked Lunch".  When asked 
in court to explain the book's title, Burroughs said it "refers to that 
frozen moment in time when every man recognizes just what is on the end 
of his fork".  That's as near as I can remember without looking it up 
anyway.  But I need to lay off the literary references to irtc topics I 
think.

"A moment frozen in time. Think of an event, then freeze it. For example,
a glass breaking, a splash of liquid, a match igniting, anything."

FWIW I've started sketching out an idea suggested by the line in Pink
Floyd's 'Two Suns In The Sunset'..."you stretch the frozen moment with your
fear..".
Don't want to give too much away but it's going to rely heavily on emitting
media and (probably) radiosity with no light_source.
.....anyone got a render farm I can borrow? :-)

That's the definition for a still. As I see it, any entry will be allowed
then. :-)

But I thought of a starship examining a black hole's event horizon.
According to general relativity, that's the only place in Universe with a
REAL frozen moment. :-)

I thought the same when I read the Topic's description
(a still image is always a frozen momment, isn't it?)

It seems to me that the topic is implying that your scene freeze something
that would otherwize pass to quickly to see.  i.e. I don't think a bowl of
fruit or a landscape is on topic.

This topic always reminds me of that one entry not too long ago, of the
man under the ice... looking upwards at the broken hole as he is falling
deeper under the frozen water.  It was one of my favouriates that round.
