A great photographer once taught me, 'Always look over your shoulder while on assignment; the best photo might be happening behind you.' I think this is a great example of that in practice.

While covering the inauguration ceremony of the new Mexican embassy in Abu Dhabi, staff photographer Razan Alzayani spotted this very genuine moment happening off to the side and juxtaposed perfectly.
