It's hard to represent superpowers on photos without using effects.
If I had to choice between having telekinesis or telepathy, I'd go for the former.
Let me made my case. Having the ability to communicate mentally sounds cool, but I believe such a power requires a lot of control. Not like telekinesis doesn't, but imagine your telepathy is too strong and you can't shut it up. Then, you end listening to everyone every time. That sound like such a hassle.
Reminds me of many characters from the media that go crazy for having such powers. Not everyone can be Charles Xavier and use their powers for good and have the restrain not to use it for evil. However, I have to admit that having such an ability could give you an edge in communication. Given you're good at semiotics or people have an inner monologue, understanding them becomes easier. Limitations on the power are entirely dependent on your own skills to read the mind and thoughts. And remember this is telepathy. It doesn't mean it comes with the powers of an empath as well. That one helps you feel the emotions of others. Knowing what they are thinking is not necessarily the same. So, you can always see half the cards of others.
I bet politicians would love having such powers. Scammers would too. I can think of lots of bad uses for it since greed is a great motivation amongst humans.
Anyways, having telekinesis would give me an edge in my activities. I imagining using it for the repeated things that get myself tired. Sanding, sharpening things. It could also help building some stuff. And imagine leaving something behind and not having to come back to get it because you can use your mind and pull that object to where you are. It is amazing.
They say the mind is stronger than the body, so it stands to reason the feats of using telekinetic powers could be amazing. You use your skills to build something by moving the materials around.
Both things are somewhat easy to conceal. But I bet having the powers might draw attention unless you're far away. In that case, telepathy is useless because it relies on having people around. For a loner like me, telekinesis is a better choice for usage any time. Knowing what people think our communicating with them on that level goes beyond the boundaries of personal space. I don't like people getting into mine if I can avoid it, nor I'd like to cross someone's boundaries in the same way.
Besides, if I ever go crazy and want to use my powers for evil, throwing people around, choking them or ripping them apart with my mind sounds like a hell of a power to have. With telepathy you might be able to get some ideas inside people's minds to make them go crazy, but truth be told, people are already struggling mentally with themselves. Imaging drawing all that anguish in your life by linking with the wrong person. That's a can of worms that can't be sealed again.
And if my powers are too weak, I can always do the twisted-spoon trick. Unless, there's no spoon!
