(12,504 posts)IMHO this appears to capture more of the essence of Bernie, rather than looking polished and Presidential. I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with a rumpled collar, and too much shadows, and there is nothing wrong with portraying the subject matter as one of the regular folks, but I just don't think it looks presidential.

(65,442 posts)I prefer the photos that show his personality and that show how impatient he is with the superficial, shallow style over substance crap. Bernie is authentic and doesn't wear focus-group tested masks. That is a large part of his appeal.
