Without bringing any politics into it, I think the portrait looks great and stands up to the level of quality expected in Presidential portraits.

Without bringing any politics into it,...

I agree but I'm still really frightened...

Is he leaning away from the flag?

They need to retouch the blue lips. Not fitting for a messiah.

Who took the horns out of the photo?

Some thoughts of my own, mostly ;^) not political.

1. It is not close-up enough. A portrait should not have this much background.

2. The flags are cluttered. I don't feel the Presidential Seal flag should be there. I think this is part of the Office of the Presedent-Elect syndrome. The US flag should be more open.

3. He appears to be leaning away. He should be leaning in.

Caveat: I am not a photographer, but my ex-wife's father is...

Great photo. I hope Obama lives up to the highest ideals set for the office.

But I’m not holding my breath.

Is it normal to already have an official portrait before taking the oath of office? I thought that came at the end of the term ... like W’s.
