Because a photo of Obama couldn't the felt of the people was looking at the TV screens waiting for the election results, but a photo of Tom could that people felt tense and nervous. When I looked at the picture to knew some people were quietly holding hands and smiling. In conclusion, I thought his photo the photographer Tom could felt was better than a photo of Obama himself. It made me felt some people were watching Obama’s victory through the faces of all these people.
