Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hazard, Kentucky

Reason: One of the most isolated communities in Appalacia: until the twentieth century, "the only ways in or out of the valley were 45 miles down the North Fork of the Kentucky River, or a 2-week trip over the surrounding mountains." The town's name was popularized by the Dukes of Hazzard television series and film. Restored version of File:Hazard Kentucky bridge.jpg.

Comment: I have to comment that I find the enc. of the image rather weak. The image doesn't really show the city (for example, like this). Was the footbridge pictured an important part of the city at that time? Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 20:54, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – No EV what-so-ever (If there is, it's not apparent). Also, the trees on the left are a bit blurry. If this is intentional DoF, it looks terrible. Jerry teps (talk) 01:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm not really seeing it. This wouldn't be included if it was a modern shot, and it's not really illustrating anything about how it looked then. It's not really illustrating anything- I'm not seeing the encyclopedic value. J Milburn (talk) 20:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Great picture, but not much EV. Might have better luck on Commons. Kaldari (talk) 18:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
