Along these same lines . . I had considered entering my latest carving in a local art contest but decided against it because it was my original intention to COPY this tiki (artist unknown?) from BOT. Now if I'd intended to BASE it on the photo with some ideas of my own thrown in I wouldn't feel wrong about entering it. Even though mine IS different, I think it's too much the same to consider it an ORIGINAL work.
