This LIFE special edition, "To the Moon and Back," chronicles the first moon landing, brought about by the courage of the Apollo 11 astronauts and the thousands of people who supported their mission. On the cover is a picture of Buzz Aldrin, taken by fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong. Along with color photographs of this historic walk on the moon, there are biographical sketches of Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins. There is also a history of manned space exploration from the first single orbit around the earth orbit to the launch of Apollo 11.
I really like the way the reflection is framed in the astronauts helmet and the lighting and overall colors of the picture is very nice and fits the setting and feel of the image. I also like the way the designer of the cover used the black sky above him to put text. One thing I would like to be different about this photo is the balance of the main focus of the image and the text, there should be more text of the left hand side of the astronaut.
