[[Image:Snakehandling.png|thumb|250px|'''Original''' - [[Snake handling]] in a church in [[Harlan County, Kentucky]].]]
;Reason:I think this is a very striking, dramatic photograph. It also illustrates the subject well and makes a person want to learn more.
;Articles this image appears in:[[Snake handling]]
;Creator:[[Russell Lee (photographer)]] for the United States government, in 1946.

* '''Support as nominator''' --[[User:Steve Dufour|Steve Dufour]] ([[User talk:Steve Dufour|talk]]) 18:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
::p.s. In case you were wondering I am strongly opposed to snake handling, based on Matthew 4:7 as well as common sense. :-) [[User:Steve Dufour|Steve Dufour]] ([[User talk:Steve Dufour|talk]]) 18:34, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' <s>too small per criteria.</s> Higher quality image is better, but I don't see the historical value which would require a B&W image. --[[User:Daniel J. Leivick|Leivick]] ([[User talk:Daniel J. Leivick|talk]]) 20:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' per Daniel J. Leivick. Since this is demonstrating snake handling, not historical snake handling a newer, better quality photograph could be produced. There seem to be a few new people around at FPC, welcome! [[User:Noodle snacks|Noodle snacks]] ([[User talk:Noodle snacks|talk]]) 01:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
** Just noticed that someone also needs to crop out the border [[User:Noodle snacks|Noodle snacks]] ([[User talk:Noodle snacks|talk]]) 01:37, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
* '''Weak Oppose''' No historic value in this picture, to be Black and White. A better color picture would add encyclopedic value. [[User:Vegpuff|Vegpuff]] ([[User talk:Vegpuff|talk]]) 06:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' - if there was a historical value I would support it but this way I don't see anything special in this image.--[[User:Avala|Avala]] ([[User talk:Avala|talk]]) 23:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Comment'''. With a little restoration (fixing scratches) I'd support this image-- I think it's well-composed and encyclopedic. [[User:Spikebrennan|Spikebrennan]] ([[User talk:Spikebrennan|talk]]) 13:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Reluctant oppose''' Certainly large enough to fit the criteria (I wonder whether Leivick misread the information), but no particular reason is given why this needs to be a historical depiction; the practice still exists. Not enough photographic merit to stand on its own as an FP independent of special historical context. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 03:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::Just to defend my initial oppose, I have to point out that a higher image was uploaded since I cast my initial vote. I still oppose do to lack of historical context. --[[User:Daniel J. Leivick|Leivick]] ([[User talk:Daniel J. Leivick|talk]]) 05:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Makes sense, thanks. My oppose stands unless a unique historical context emerges. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 22:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
