Nice photo showing devastated capital of South Carolina. It's striking and adds significantly to its article. Photographed by George N. Barnard. Photo it's from public domain National Archives and Records Administration.

• The image probably needs to be in the history section, rather than the Attractions section, although there isn't much space there. Also, it might benefit from some photoshop healing. --brian0918™ 17:11, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • What kind of "healing" do you mean? - Darwinek 17:28, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Using the healing brush to get rid of some of the specks, and using the Auto-Level command to... auto level. --brian0918™ 18:12, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I agree with brian, the damaged part of the photo on the LHS ruins it. Maybe a crop would be better? --Fir0002 23:54, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment for the benefit of non-U.S.A.ns who may not be familiar with our history: The event depicted happened during the American Civil War of 1861 through 1865. Michael Hardy 30 June 2005 22:26 (UTC)
• Support, the only picture of the bunch that was interesting enough to actually look at, to click on and see the larger version. Carries emotional impact; most/all other pictures on this page are pretty but empty. linas 1 July 2005 00:01 (UTC)
  • It's a moment of history. However not striking IMO. I can barely have an idea of the devastation by looking this pic. Ericd 3 July 2005 20:32 (UTC)
