This image, ES_val_banner.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (--10:42, 12 February 2006 (UTC)DieWeibeRose) feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. the purpose and character of the use is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work is also nonprofit educational purposes;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the photograph in any way;
4. the picture is only one of a series of photographs documenting the same event and is insubstantial relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
