I must admit, I think finding good images is the hardest part by far of running an icon challenge. Sometimes a pic that I think is gorgeous simply doesn't work for iconing, but it's not until I have a go that I realise this - and I don't like to start early if I'm going to enter the challenge, as it's giving myself an advantage. 'Tis a puzzle.

Perhaps I should have a 'comment on the challenge' post afterwards, and see what people's reactions are to each image - it may help me figure out what works.
