John's picture and picture of John (names need a capital letter) can both mean that it is a picture of John - maybe someone has taken a photograph of John or painted his portrait. John's picture could also just mean a picture belonging to John, in which he need not actually appear. I have a picture of a flower on the wall in my bedroom.
