Don't see it on the top picture. But the Rally For The Republic photo kind of looks that way. But it appears to be a combination of one of the pieces of paper falling and a bit of a reflection off the end of his nose and under his left eye, creating an effect of continuity.
I'm sorry, please don't take this as a rude comment. But the truth is your eyesight could be better. That piece of confetti is not even touching Ron Paul's face. Its falling behind him.
