Appearance
- Reason
- Iconic vista in the New York City Harbor, recognized throughout the world as a beacon of freedom (I sound like a travel agent). Notable by itself, and used in many articles. Been in Statue of Liberty since at least 27 October 2008.

- Comment. Appears to have a slight CCW tilt, apparent even in the thumb. And I can't believe we don't have a high quality image of this created by a Wikipedian. --jjron (talk) 14:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Tilt Corrected - Take a look at the Commons collection of Statue of Liberty images, and none are of much better quality at this close range (nor are any more used than this image). ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 00:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
