I have read of instances where even the pose used in an image has been successfully copyrighted. In such a case if you were to photograph your wife in the same pose as a high profile photographer had posed a model (and distribute the resulting image) you can risk a lawsuit. Scary. The Eiffel tower is the best known - to me - copyrighted landmark. You can photograph it but you can't sell the image. When we were last there we saw warnings to that effect affixed to every flat surface - or so it seemed.
