In contrast to the poor set of launch images – the orbital mission photography is proving much better. This image very quickly became quite an iconic picture appearing on news sites across the world. It features astronauts Jim Reilly and John "Danny" Olivas (visible among Reilly's helmet reflections), in the mission's first planned session of extravehicular activity. Enhanced with CS3 and Noise Ninja.
