a11 (AS11-40-5894 ALSJ crop)

Cropped enhancement of the ALSJ's high-res image of Armstrong working in the shadow of the Lunar Module.

 

In my opinion, this should be touted as “the ‘only’ photo taken of Neil Armstrong on the Moon.” It’s closer, of Neil’s front, shows reasonable detail of his suit - to include his visor assembly and RCU...and maybe even facial features...as odds are high his gold visor is up. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the white smudge visible in the upper portion of the faceplate is actually the white part of his Communications Carrier Assembly, aka ‘Snoopy Cap’.

 

If I can get this image to look this good - with my rudimentary skills & software - imagine what someone who knows what they’re doing, with professional-grade photo editing software could do! Jus' sayin'.
