Purpose of use

Main infobox. This image illustrates Omayra Sánchez in a manner that text cannot. It is being used in the infobox of the article where it contributes significantly to the understanding of the extent of her plight. Since it is the most famous image associated with the subject, it has been placed here purposefully to show that the reader has reached their target and so that they can recognize Omayra. The use of this image is purely for educational purposes, and makes no attempt to profit from the artist's work.

Replaceable?

This specific photo is the reason for Omayra's fame, comparable to the way in which Tank Man became known via File:Tianasquare.jpg. She died of exposure shortly after the picture was taken, making the creation of a replacement impossible, but even if another photo of her were found and licensed freely or released into the public domain, it would be unable to match this photo's identification with Omayra.
