Context the 15 iconic images



I found the above picture in Google. When I saw it first time it inspired me to do editing. The picture looks different with all the paintings on the wall and the writings are so colourful I would really like to learn how to make image like this. The scarf on his head makes it even unique and motivated me to find the-secrete behind it. There are two candles standing on the bottom of the image that is a creative idea and it looks great.



this image is too fresh to look at and it is very attractive. seeing the picture, the couple seems having luxury life. the decoration around the room adds more beauty to the picture, and smile of the couple and the light aside the bed makes it bright. the couples are looking at some photos or reading something funny.






This picture shows Mohammed Ali the greatest boxer of all the time in action.he is showing aggressive attitude and chanting win, win. his opposition is down on the floor lost the title for Mohammed Ali.
























this picture is one of Cheryl Coles iconic image. it looks like she is going to concert for a show and she looks happy as you can see.

                           











The above image is the Americans best dancers crew; there are five boys and two girls, they work hard as a group that's why they getting better and better. this image Looks like they taken picture in studio, what they are wearing it matches and its good to look at. The black man on the top is pointing to the camera that could be showing off.



This pristine shot of the band crossing the road in unison takes place just outside the EMI Studios on Abbey Road. The photo has led many a fan to venture to the same spot in an attempt to recreate the shot themselves, although likely without the assistance of the stepladder and traffic cop halting traffic it took for photographer Iain Macmillan to accomplish.



This image was painted by good Wives and warriors. The painted is too colourful and its amazing the way  how they made everything up, if you look on the top of both side of the image there is birds flying that’s really good idea and if you look at the London eye, the building, speakers on bottom I think  the hole idea is creative.   



There is two mans standing and looking at the above image it seem like they know something about the image or you can say they really like the picture. For me its old black and white image when I first saw it I thought them watching movie in cinema because of the lights looks like it.




This image looks like there is war going on in some of the Asian country. I think these children are crying and trying   to run away from the soldiers behind them or maybe those soldiers are defending the children’s. Basally it is a sad picture for me.





An iconic World War II era poster. The photo is a scan of a copy belonging to the National Museum of American History, The photo accompanying this quiz shows Norman Rockwell's painting of “Rosie the River,” the iconic character honored through the establishment of Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. and it looks really cool with the all painted.




Despite writing almost two hundred years ago, Austen's work still stands up as well in popular culture as it does in academic study. Familiar novels like Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma are masterpiece of literary realism and offer invaluable insights into the lives of women in the 18th and 19th centuries, but it is their enduring sense of romance and ability to enchant young readers that means we still love Austen as well as admire her.






These are the goals that will never be forgotten.These are the goals you know better than your first-born son. These aren't necessarily the 15 best goals football has ever produced. Best and "most iconic mean different things.To be iconic, a goal must live on in the collective memory of all football fans. It doesn't matter the reason.Some came in big matches. Some feature skill that's too memorable to ever forget.All of them share one trait: Fans around the world know them as soon as you mention them. 
Jesse Owens is one of the most iconic Olympians of all time, as his achievements at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin publically dismantled Hitler's ideology of Aryan physical superiority.For all his heroics, there was a cruel irony in Jesse besting the Nazis, only to then still be treated as a second-class citizen at home.We spoke to this film's director, Laurens Grant, Olympian John Carlos, a friend of Jesse's, and Olympian John Regis.


David Beckham is one of the best player in the world. He is one of the most iconic athletes and decorated football players of all-time. He is the second most capped England player in history, scoring in three FIFA World Cups.  However, David’s name now stretches beyond just football –in recent years, his name has also become synonymous with style, fashion, and recently, through his work as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, he has become known as a key advocate of charity work.

 One of the most iconic image ever taken of singer-songwriter Bob Marley were photographed  at the height of his career by renowned photographer David Burnett. Burnett, who is co-founder or the photo agency Contact Press Image, and a veteran of decades in the photography industry, chronicles these image in a recent book, Soul Rebel.
