Original – The Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg catching fire on May 6, 1937 at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey.
Reason
Iconic picture. I will admit it has technical flaws, but the encyclopedic value is incomparable. Contributes greatly to linked articles.

It appears that the picture is cropped, but neither the original or the cropped version has any higher EV then the other. I believe the technical flaws can be excused due the the rather exceptional EV in this case. Dusty777 17:39, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure we'd need to make quality exceptions, but I'd like to make sure we have the best we can get... ;-\ — raekyt 18:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. If you come across any pictures that are better quality, let me know. Dusty777 17:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support In comparing the two it is obvious they are both cropped as aspects are missing from each. Google backs this up. Regardless, the nominated picture seems to show more of the important detail. EV is not in question. Saffron Blaze (talk) 00:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
