Hi,
I was just wondering if there is such a thing as copyrighting a photo composition? E.g. if a song can be copyrighted, why not a photo right? If say I allow the use of my image of the Merlion to a publication for a fee and another photographer happened to shoot the same thing, same angle, who also tries to sell it, is the other photographer violating the copyright of mine?
Before you go around asking, I don't have any shots of the Merlion for sale or even worthy of mention but was merely used as an example for discussion.
Any inputs on this dear CS members?
