#119 Major Sparkles
After 17 years of marriage, there is still that sparkle in the eye when they look at each other.
Maybe it is his uniform, or the new rank of Major that he got just a few minutes earlier.
Maybe it is her face, or the way she supported him during his assignments.
Maybe it is just love - one of those things where two people meet, realize they are made for each other, and decide to stay together forever.
This photo was taken during the promotion ceremony for Major (captain emeritus) Rashad. I asked one of the guests to hold the flash behind her, so I can get outlines of both of their heads. An unexpected, but really cool side effect was reflection in their (and especially his) glasses. Color really didn't help in this photo, so I removed it all together. Even the piece of Berlin wall that is visible beyond didn't suffer by loss of color, because the main attention is the sparkle and outlines.
