| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Tropical Storm Lee (2011) | |||
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This image will give viewers a visual idea of how extensive the damage from Tropical Storm Lee was in upstate New York. Unlike other photos, this aerial view provides a much wider scope, which illustrates the extent of the damage caused by the record flood. None of the other photos in this article (as well as in many other articles regarding catastrophic floods) are aerial images of the damage, and this image is a very powerful depiction of the scale of destruction. | |||
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Very few aerial photographs are readily available in general, and this is more so true for this image because (a) it was taken so soon after the river crested, portraying the magnitude of the disaster, and (b) unrestricted permission to use this image for this Wikipedia article was granted by the owner of the copyright. | |||
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | All other images in this article are free use, and none of them convey the scope of the damage like this image does. This image will only be used for one article (Tropical Storm Lee (2011)). We are using an acceptable version of the image, at a resolution provided to us by the owner. Only one photo of the series is being used, as it is the minimum that can be utilized. | |||
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
I have communicated directly with the owner of the photograph, who also took the photo himself, and have discussed the use of this image for Wikipedia. We are using a lower-resolution version of the image, and are only using it for educational purposes. Furthermore, the owner is not commercializing this image in any way. | |||
