    A U.S. Army soldier named Gabayan, holding a large telephoto camera lens/DSLR camera raised above shoulder height, stands smiling in an outdoor field setting. He is wearing OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform with a captain's rank insignia and a baseball-style patrol cap. The image appears to be a professional portrait taken in a green, grassy area under an overcast sky.

    A military paratrooper has just landed on a green grassy field, still connected to a large olive-drab/gray round parachute that remains inflated above them. The jumper appears to be on the ground in a landing roll position, with suspension lines still taut. The setting is a rural open field surrounded by deciduous and coniferous trees under an overcast sky.
