Here's an image I've always liked, presumably taken moments before the salute. You can see Aldrin peeking towards Armstrong, holding the camera, to see if he's ready for the salute, which he then executes with heartfelt sincerity, I can only assume.

... notice that the flag is not rippling! This is a new one on me. I always assumed that it rippled, or wavered, just from dangling there, of course with no atmosphere. However, to my eye, it hasn’t noticeably changed between these two images, which were probably just a second or so apart, but still ...

I suppose there’s a whole book on this!
