You must have seen the picture vs Have you seen the pictures

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'You must have seen the picture' is a statement assuming that the person has already seen the picture. 'Have you seen the pictures?' is a question asking if the person has seen the pictures. They are not directly comparable as one is a statement and the other is a question.
