Its not against the rules and its not uncommon.... but
trying not to knock anyone but come on how less then un original.

The setups are different but taken with the same camera, same phones, same book, presuambly same location where two different people live.

But as the rules say as long as you Click it and PP it then its legal.

AT LEAST THEY CAME WITHIN TWO PLACES OF EACH OTHER... kinda proves a point and maybe that was the intention?

H0w is this any different than doing a similar shot that was done in another challenge?

The submitters also have two other photos of the same location:

which were also consecutively uploaded (461216, 471217). It could be the same person going for the double entry, but if that's the case, i doubt they pose any serious threat... what's more likely is it's two school friends who share the use of the same camera. If it was a higher-scoring photo, i would be concerned, but this is probably innocent, so i would say live and let live...

Well in DejaVu Challenges its normal... HAHAHA.. anyways I actually refrain from trying anything ive seen which probly hurts me even worse due to my lack of forced creative inspiration.

1 - Techniques can be copied and produce images 99% different. Most of Scalverts techniques can be replicated for completly different images.

2 - After 5 or 6 other people attempting something challenge wise that ive seen in a tutorial... it gets old but that doesnt mean anything is wrong with it.

Really they changed the shot to not be the same shot. But at the same time they could have had one shot not having the phones in a circle. Changed the background to see which one would score better.

NOT accusing foul play just unoriginality as nice as i can...... yeah it doesnt work does it....

To me it looked like they were having fun. I did not think it was anything illegal. It's like a game to see if you can spot the similar photos. I was wondering if this one might also be a part of the set:

If it matters, still, they are both students in the same classroom.

The 10 scores represent anti-trolls. Literally. I'm not making it up. Some people (I've done it once or twice) just sense someone going for brown and give them a 10 to boost their score...

Image in 58th place got removed. How does that happen? I thought that challenge images stay there forever... or get DQd, but not removed like this?!
