Actually, I thought it was sort of a cute photo, and definitely humanizing. She does look as if she's genuinely gleeful. It might be a worthwhile exercise for people to attempt to drop their politics and just imagine it's a picture of some older friend or relative. Then ask if they would consider it a good candid shot.
I don't guarantee any particular results. I mean, honestly, I cannot see a photo of Bush without thinking "dimwit" or a photo of Cheney without thinking "There's a guy who gets to sleep at night by grinding his teeth and revising his enemies list." So those driven to madness by the mere mention of "Hillary" are unlikely to concur with me on this photo.
