I uploaded my photograph below to flickr, using Attribution, Noncommercial (CC BY-NC) as my licensing. I chose this because it is fine for anyone to use or modify the photo; however, they should give the source and not make money from it. I did not have a strong feeling that the piece should not be changed. It would be interesting to see how it might be modified or incorporated into other pieces. Having the licensing remain the same after modifying it was not important to me.
