THANK YOU for your kind words about "The Icon" making the Spotlight. What is interesting is that if that tree wasn't such an icon that every photographer shoots, I would not have felt motivated to push the envelope. The learning that I would take away from this is, don't avoid shooting the icons; use them as a springboard for tapping into your creativity.
@Heinz: Danke, mein Freund
@Harry: Thanks. Good idea
