49. Really?

I'm just taking issue with people being judgmental about the way the guy looks. It's a candid shot. He's got a big smile on his face. I don't see how it makes the guy "look bad". A candid photo doesn't mean that the guy is a bad leader. It doesn't diminish the guy's decision making in any way. I'm not mocking the guy. If people choose to mock the guy because of a photo, than that is their problem. The other photos could also be considered being "spoon fed" also.
