These people are trying to tell you something. What is it?

Also, kudos if you can find the pattern between the images...though you'll have to find the pattern to solve this puzzle in the first place.

Note: The text in some of the images are just citations for those that aren't in the public domain. You can ignore them, as they are not part of the puzzle

I believe the message here is:

KUDOS TO YOU!

The people in the images are:

US President John F. Kennedy,
Sprinter Usain Bolt,
Naturalist Charles Darwin,
Novelist George Orwell,
Father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud,
UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,
US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin,
US President Barack Obama,
Novelist John Updike.

To read the hidden message:

for each picture, we need to take either the initial of the pictured person's first name or the initial of their surname. Doing this in a way that makes sense (and uses the hidden 'kudos' hint in the puzzle text) we can get:

John F. Kennedy, Usain Bolt, Charles Darwin, George Orwell, Sigmund Freud, Margaret Thatcher, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Yuri Gagarin, Barack Obama, John Updike

In other words, this spells out KUDOS TO YOU!

    $\begingroup$ You got it. Also, the pattern between the images was LFLLFLLFLL, where L is last name initial and F is first name initial. So you don't have to guess which initial to take if you can spot the pattern, but it's quite simple anyways. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 13, 2021 at 0:16

    $\begingroup$ @marsnebulasoup How are you supposed to spot that pattern, exactly? It's not really long enough to be self-evident without lots of guessing. Is it clued somewhere I'm missing? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 13, 2021 at 3:10
  • $\begingroup$ @tmpearce - You're right, it's not that evident... I was thinking that if you do find the message, you should be able to spot the pattern if you look for it, but it's not really necessary to solve the puzzle $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 13, 2021 at 3:15
