Does "first take: Francis is a nod to changing world" mean "first shot/photo: Francis is a favor to the changing world"?

@oristarA,

it means that the world is changing because the vatican elected a non-european pope for the first time in the modern era.

"first take" means to start with; at first glance...

@oristarA,
the first reaction is that the selection of Pope Francis is an acknowledgment of the changes in the world
