Hi Richard,
I'm surprised you don't now an Eddie Adams photo? ... the police officer 
shooting the VC in the head in Siagon. MALAK is a toughie for anyone out 
side Canada, he is the brother of KARSH and famous for his scenics with 
tulips around the Canadian Parliment Buildings.

 That's correct

Now yer beginning to cheat by offering more than one photo. :-)  But he does 
have so many well known it's very tough to say what is the most famous? 
We'll let this go for another entry person.

I suppose "MOONRISE" would be a reasonable choice? Maybe? ;-)

Yes correct it's Trudeau. As this is the most recognized photograph in the 
country even though most people have no idea who the photographer was. :-( 
;-)

> Robert Capa - the D Day landing
Yes correct!

I can't say an individual photo that stands out on it's own. I'm sure there 
will be reminders later.

> Lange - the Migrant Mother.
Yes correct!

Well an interesting first entry. We shall see what comes. ;-)
cheers
Dr. ted :-)
