High EV due to the fact that the helicopter is shown from half-profile, which makes it easily identifiable.

Original - apl.de.ap, a musician with the hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, performs at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania in November 2004.
Reason
I'm completely new to Valued Pictures, so forgive me if I'm not doing this right, or if this picture isn't the type of thing we're looking for. I'm not an excellent photographer, but I think this image is of encyclopedic value to the apl.de.ap page, and is a rather unique image of this subject in mid-performance. I was right at the front row and was able to get very close.
