Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you!

It’s the exact same photo. Yup. Just a different background.

When contacted, a magazine spokesperson confirmed that the two covers use the same photo and that the credit inside the new issue acknowledges that Annie Leibovitz took the portrait of the Prez in 2007.

V.F. is really “going green”!
