Another solution would be this:

$('td').click(function () {
    var content = $('.user-picture', this).detach();
    $(this).append(content);
    $('span', this).remove()l
});

unwrap works perfectly well for your scenario, but at times you want to move the .user-picture around a bit more than just 2 levels, detach helps with that while keeping the object (including it's attributes and events) intact.

use

$(".user-picture").unwrap();
$(".user-picture").unwrap();

Used unwrap twice as to remove both parent spans and keep the internal structure.
