[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 748840, member: 9240"] In this case both photographers compete in subject-specific challenges on an online forum that I participate in, so they are aware of each other and the image reproduced is one that won a challenge just a couple months ago. The reproduction was submitted to a statewide club competition with a month of the original, so the original photographer is not aware of the "copy" and likely never would. As for two random photographers colliding on an idea and executing it nearly identically, whether completely originally or both being influenced by a 3rd photographer, that's "just one of those things", and it can very well happen in subject-specific contests. Were I to know of a photo that could have influenced both and these were nearly identical then I might kick 'em for originality assuming they both saw that one, but if I just happened to see two nearly identical photos submitted for the same contest I don't think I'd be in any way worried, because who would purposefully do that?
