Roy,
Does copyright then imply that it is the exact same image? How exact is exact?
I guess the hands and rings wedding shot is not copyrightable either? Hmmm ...
food for thought. I still think that "appropriations" is squirrely. ;)

Copyright doesn't apply if you doing 2nd curtain synch since the original
photography is first curtain synch. Copyright doesn't apply unless you
duplicate the scene like having the pews at the same angles, have the model wearing a
similar dress etc. Copyright is violated when the results look like the
original.
I don't think an act of dropping a drop of fluid into a liquid is
copyrightable because the outcome will vary. It would take quite a bit of talent
and time to make such a picture match a previous one in terms of splash
positions, sizes. getting the light from the same angle etc.
