agree  Alexandra Taggart: "subject", not "image"("popular image"-is something you'dsimply like to look at)

  -> Spasibo, Alexandra! I think 'image' is OK if followed by 'used in...', as it then takes on a subtly different meaning... as in "the cross is a recurring image (motif) used in Christian art"
