Stormhammer, the first thing to remember is that you have to get written permission before you use any photo. You can't just run and grab any photo, because you are opening yourself up to legal issues. It's copyright violation, and there are a lot of people that sue over it. They will see your site as an attempt to make money with their image, and they normal rate that they can get in court is $15k per image if it is not registered with the copyright office. If it's a registered image, then they can get up to $150K per image. You need to protect yourself and get written permission on each image. It's just good business sense to protect yourself.
Here is the image that you need, and I can supply you written permission. I don't mind helping out other IA members.
