[QUOTE="PLM, post: 752871, member: 49082"] Even though I'm new here and I've never sold an image, or even entered a photo contest, I'd like to offer my two cents. Putting aside the legal questions and viewing this strictly from my own personal perspective, I think that using someone else concept to create a photograph is exceptable. After all, hasn't it been done since the beginning of photography. Someone had to have created the first portrait, the first action shot, the first landscape, the first macro photo, etc. With that being said, the photo that is created from someone else concept should not be a close copy of the original. For me, it's if I feel like it is violating my own personal ethics that matters the most. If I feel it's wrong, then I'm not going to do it. [/QUOTE]
