How can we tell if she's only an office worker and not a leader?

Not technically JAFAAC as I thought, so I asked it to be changed to Poor Image, as it fits that more (since it's been noted there's artifacting).

She could be wearing nothing but red paint from the waist down.

Are you saying that the current image is worse than nothing?


Could be better, though, clearly.

My complaint's not so much about the overall pic as it is the quality...noticeably artifacted.

Just noting this is not technically JAFAAC territory. It at least illustrates the "pen pushing" aspect, which is not only part of the definition but the more important part. True JAFAAC = does not illustrate at all.

But maybe a cartoon showing the Oval Office president with a mountain of paperwork could do the job better.

PS: here is one uncropped version of the same image.

... If you say so.

I'm going to holler for the the symptom part of the topic to "poor image", since you said that.

The only thing I can think of is to grab a photo of Barack Obama in presidential clothing while signing a bill and photoshop a Wall Of Papers onto it.

I think the current works. I'm not sure any of the suggestions sounds better, and I've certainly not seen better.

Yep, current is borderline, but a good caption could easily fix this.

Thanks to whomever changed the "symptom" for me.

Be careful with the notion that "a caption can fix this". After all, while this may not technically qualify, there's a reason it's called Just A Face And A Caption.

It's even worse when without a caption. That is the point here.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with using a caption that clarifies the image.

A good caption can fix a lot of things, especially if it's just giving one piece of information.

I'm not a big fan of the image myself, but I couldn't really find a more clear one. sad

Ideally we would need a character with some presidential or royal uniform with piles of papers on each side of them…

Until we find that, a caption won't hurt I guess.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity. I'll tag the page to note that the caption was added per this thread.
