Description

Scenario: This image is an official White House photograph of President Barack Obama and U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, sporting her "not impressed" face. Take a moment to reflect on the image. What types of non-verbal cues can you infer from the photo? Do your own inferences differ from what is proposed in the hot spots? Hint: notice the location, the facial expressions, the clothes, and the body language.
