It adds value to the guide
Do you realize that this is the first one from Maine? And, more importantly, this is a very fine image; I would rather frass a dozen or more mediocre images than this one.

OK
I just didn't want to make it tougher for whoever ends up culling images on these bloated pages.

Easy!
As I said there are many that could be frassed, not this one. We shouldn't lower the quality of the guide with poor images, but the good ones deserve to stay.

Thanks for the ID. Doesn't look like the Guide needs more examples.
