Well, both these pictures show people in successful situations. In Picture a, the audience is clapping the rock group, so their performance has probably been a success. The performers look happy. Picture b is a picture of someone getting a degree or diploma or something, so they must have done well in their exams. I suppose the main difference between the pictures is that the second one is an example of academic success, whereas the first picture shows success in a performance. Another difference is that, in picture a, a group of people have been successful together. In picture b, the person has been successful on their own.
