Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Confederate Dead at Devil's Den Gettysburg

 
Original - Body of Confederate sharpshooter, behind famous shooting blind at Devil's Den. (Taken on July 6 or July 7, 1863, by Alexander Gardner (photographer). Recent scholarship strongly suggests that the photo was staged for dramatic effect with a body recovered elsewhere).
Reason
This is a historic picture that is depicting a small portion of the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War. It meets the size requirement by more than triple. Furthermore, the image is the object of some doubt because of the fact that some scholars believe it to be staged. The image shows great details of the fallen solider and the location he died. I initially put the picture up for peer review here and per the feedback, I performed some restoration edits to the photo. (As a note, the restored image shown here has not been placed into the articles yet. The original version is still there)
