Description

Just testing your sample from the readme with my own pictures

Describe what you were trying to get done.
Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen.
IMPORTANT: If your issue is related to a specific picture, include it so others can reproduce the issue.

What I Did

Replace pictures from smartphone and noticed if the images are too big you get the classic array index out of range error when calling face_recognition.face_encodings("my picture")[0]

Ive solved it by reducing my images to the size/dimensions close to your test images, but Im curious what does the extra array ix [0] in face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image)[0] do :)?

Paste the command(s) you ran and the output.
If there was a crash, please include the traceback here.

Reproducing the bug is simple jeg take a smartphone image directly and replace "Obama" with that.

Start with the README example using face_recognition.face_encodings and compare it with the reported smartphone-image reproduction. Record the Python, face_recognition, and operating-system versions, include the complete traceback, and determine whether the failure is specific to image size or to the result accessed with [0]. Done means the behavior is reproducible and its expected handling is documented or covered by a test.
