Original – A view of the census-designated place of Nuremberg, Pennsylvania from the south
Reason
The image was just promoted to QI (it may take a few days for the bot to tag it as such, though), so it must have pretty good technical quality. The resolution is nearly 3.4 megapixels, easily enough for FP. It is one of only two photos of Nuremberg that is on Commons (as far as I know), and the other was taken with an old point and shoot camera, so it is reasonable to say that this is the best available photo of the subject. It's under the CC-BY-SA 4.0, so the free license requirement is met. A picture of a village naturally has encyclopedic value, especially if it shows most or all of the village at once, as this does. It's been in the article on Nuremberg for a week and no one has complained. For verifiability: the coordinates provided on the image description page to show that the camera was in the very close vicinity of the village it is a picture of.
