[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 748851, member: 9240"] Again, this is all amateur stuff and there's no way you would look at the two and say that one was "stolen" from the other, at best it is heavily inspired. If this was one professional looking to cash in on the creativity of another then sure, I'd reach out to the original photographer. But it's a photographer in FL who made a modified re-creation on an NJ photographer's photo submitted to an online challenge site (with fewer than 100 members) and then entered it into a local club contest. We can debate the ethics of doing that but there's literally no harm done to the original photographer, who we cannot even confirm didn't take the idea from somewhere else (I've found similar concept photos with the same name, so while it was a specific creation it was not an original concept - at least from the internet's perspective).
