[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 748836, member: 13556"] Jake, in your situation, you know that the second photograph was influenced by the original. What about if the photos are so similar, but neither photographer knows about the other? What is the take at that point? (I'm not arguing, but am interested in people's opinions.) In one instance, I once saw a photo that was a take-off of the egg on the forks photo in a local contest. (The photographer had seen an egg-on-fork tines photo.) However, in that photo, the egg was broken. A portion of the broken shell was still on the forks, while another part of the shell was on the counter surface with the egg insides over the counter and forks. The photo didn't do well in judging, and two of the judges thought it was very un-creative, although one argued the exact opposite, claiming it was brilliant. WM [/QUOTE]
