Unable to see certain shared pictures on facebook?

[RMD]

A friend of mine told me she shared a photo of one of her friends. However this photo did not show up on my news feed and I couldn't see it on her profile either. Why aren't I able to see this picture?

Is it a setting? Or can I not view it because I'm not friends with the person she shared it from?

It is because of the audience for that post. She have selected some specific friends to see that photos. we can use audience selector tool to choose audience for that post.

The audience selector lets you choose a specific audience, every time you share. Your options include:

Public: When you share something with Public that means anyone on the internet can see it.

Friends of Friends: This audience includes all of your friends and any friends that they have. This option is the maximum audience minors can choose to share with.

Friends (+ friends of anyone tagged): This option lets you post stuff to your friends on Facebook. If anyone else is tagged in a post, then the audience expands to also include the tagged person and their friends.

Only Me: This option allows you to post stuff to your timeline that is visible only to you. Posts with the audience of Only Me will appear in your news feed but not your friends' news feeds. If you tag someone in an Only Me post, they will be able to see the post.

Custom: When you choose Custom, you can selectively share something with specific people, or hide it from specific people. You can also share with specific friend lists if you’ve set them up, such as Family or Best Friends, or hide posts from your Co-Workers list. Custom also provides the option to share with groups or networks you belong to.
