Original – A view of the census-designated place of Nuremberg, Pennsylvania from the south
Reason
The image was just promoted to QI (it may take a few days for the bot to tag it as such, though), so it must have pretty good technical quality. The resolution is nearly 3.4 megapixels, easily enough for FP. It is one of only two photos of Nuremberg that is on Commons (as far as I know), and the other was taken with an old point and shoot camera, so it is reasonable to say that this is the best available photo of the subject. It's under the CC-BY-SA 4.0, so the free license requirement is met. A picture of a village naturally has encyclopedic value, especially if it shows most or all of the village at once, as this does. It's been in the article on Nuremberg for a week and no one has complained. For verifiability: the coordinates provided on the image description page to show that the camera was in the very close vicinity of the village it is a picture of.

  • Support Amazing composition. There's something about this image that pulls me. It looks so peaceful --Muhammad(talk) 23:30, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Is it just me, or is there a very slight left lean? Also, I don't think 23:11:52 is the right time. Do you remember what time you took this? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think it was slightly before noon, but I don't remember the time down to the minute. Sorry. I'll have a close look at the alleged left lean in the morning. --Jakob (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Crisco 1492: I uploaded a new version, perhaps it's better now? I also changed the timestamp, but rounded to the nearest hour since I don't know the minutes or seconds. --Jakob (talk) 11:55, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Very nicely composed picture, the fall tree colours are just great in this image. However having someone's house occupying 1/6 of the image is distracting... ///EuroCarGT 00:43, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support If we didn't have a large house, the typical architecture would be less clear. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:54, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - presence of the house is not a trial at all- I hope editors rally round to support this. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 19:23, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
