Iconic photographs

I have always wanted to, but always failed, to take that "special" photograph.

Others, over the years have successfully managed to capture that moment in time - an icon photograph.

Here's my starter. What's yours......

yes that's the one depicts the innocent that get tied up in war, another that's just come to me is the horses after the Hyde Park bomb

On a much cheerier note I vaguely remember a picture from my much younger days of a girl putting a flower in a marines gun, assume it was the flower power/ summer of love but to young to remember, honest

Far to good, I've been looking for it, I was 9 then so that picture lodged in my mind for half a century, an indication of the true power of an image
