[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 748778, member: 13556"] So, what about if they weren't photographers, but painters? Say, someone saw another's painting of Yosemite Valley, as a scene from Tunnel View, and decided to paint it themselves and it ended up almost exactly like the first. Would that be ethical, or not? They, just like the photographer, had to capture the form of the image onto their respective media. Are the two that different? In my opinion, other than the title, it isn't unethical. If it is unethical, I'd say that a lot of unethical activity is involved in photography. Now, if the second photographer took a photo of the first photo and claimed that as their own work, I'd say it was definitely unethical. As far as entering something like that in a contest, I wouldn't do it. Were I a contest judge where such an image was submitted, I wouldn't judge it very highly if I recognized it as a subject explored thoroughly by others before. WM [/QUOTE]
