Picture perfect...like a wedding cake.

I really like this picture from the Commander-in-Chief Ball photographed by Doug Mills of the New York Times. The coloring of the floor is slightly faded which makes the President and First Lady stand out. Also, I think the photographer captured a perfect moment due to the couple's positioning on the United States Seal (near perfectly placed in the middle). When I first saw this picture it reminded me of a wedding cake which I found quite ironic because both the Inauguration and a traditional wedding symbolize a unification.

I also really like this picture taken in the President's Room shortly after Obama was sworn in as the 44th president. The hand gestures and facial expressions in this photo are symbolic of the change our nation embraced and the photographer did a good job capturing both at the right moment. In my opinion, Obama's placement in relation to the glow from the lighting makes it seem as though anyone/everyone is welcome to join in on the special moment.
