Photo #1:
The title says that it could "strain Obama", which explains why he looks extremely stressed. The caption states that he is brief which we could see that he doesn't want to talk about it much. Looking at the photo and reading the article and title; it shows the details and explains the details of the photo.
| People | Objects | Activities |
| Look pretty determined | American flag | Helping America |
| They're all smiling | Ocean | Trying to fix the oil spill |
| Ready to solve issues | Oil | Smiling/ having fun |
| Dressed casually, not really looking to get their hands dirty | Oil spill equipment | Seem optimistic (their body language) |

Photo #2:
The title of the article states that "Obama is ready to seize the claim process", but in the picture, I observed that he's smiling and having a good time and not looking ready to work out a problem. When you look at the details of a picture in a category, you tend to see a lot more of what the photo is trying to portray.
| People | Objects | Activities |
| It's Obama! He's leaning in and looking like he's being serious about something | Looks like there are books in the background maybe outside | Looks like he's thinking pretty deep |
| He looks concerned | He's got a good looking shirt on | Looks almost worried about the oil spill |
| His body language is negative | The backgrouns seems to be outside, which would be because its about the oil spill | Looks nervous about the oil spill |
| He seems to be stressed | Background is blurred out, and the focus is on him. | Looks like he may be doing a deep discussioned interview about the oil spill |

Question:
Which picture gives you more confidence in the presidents leadership abilities? Why?
-Definitely the first one (the one above), his body language shows that he is confident in what he's doing, while in the second photo he looks negative and concerned about a certain issue. This makes America nervous if our president looks stressed and negative.
