It's a weird picture, and makes it look like his pants are too short & he's on tippy toes. It also doesn't look like him in the face. What's with all the green stuff?
Michelle's is fine, mainly because of the dress and it shows her trademark arms. Hair looks good and like hers. It doesn't quite look like her in the face, but it's close enough. Pretty picture.
