That's a much nicer photo IMO. It just seems very accentuated when it's drawn with hard lines.
That was my first thought, and then I was amazed at how dominant the Nobel photo was in a DDG image search 30 minutes after it was announced. Now a few hours later and it's only Nobel affiliated pictures in the first ~50.
I disagree. I think it's a cool illustration and he looks good in it.
The portraits are usually based on the first nice looking picture in the Google Image search. In Morten's case they appear to have mirrored it :)
