taiyang comments on This photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving a speech while students left out in the rain. Perfectly symbolic of conservatives in America.

Not only is this heartless and cruel, but why a dimly lit tent in the middle of a parking lot? It's like the miserable black girls in the back are the focus of the image's optics, which is kinda telling.

Any camera or phone made in the last 10 years or so would have auto focused and balanced Huckasans face as the closest subject.

This was intentional on the part of the photographer.

Hate to be contrary cause I agree the optics are not great. But, it looks like that because of the photographer. The focus is on the girls, the framing helps this too. The exposure helps the most, SH is shadowed on purpose. It's possible it was accidental, getting 2 subjects in different lighting bothe clear and visible is difficult. I'd still think this is purposeful though.

Those optics are intentional.
