Support - As an official photo is not very special and doesn't reveal much about the person, other than official appearance. The fact that is the first time that an official presidential portrait was taken with a digital camera makes it neverthless somewhat special. Importantly, it is used in 220+ articles, so it seems to be much valued. It had broad support even as FP nomination in January however there was no consensus.
