Recently another photographer in my guild hung, and sold, a picture that
rather fascinated me.  It was just a picture of an interesting ceiling
corner, with the light playing in the shadows.  It was mainly in shades of
yellow and I'd never seen such a thing before.  Within a week or two, I saw
the same sort of picture on PhotoSig and I stopped to stare at it.  I
couldn't remember the various angles in my acquaintance's picture and
wondered if it was the same corner.  I captured the file.  
When I told her about it, she asked if she could see it, and I arranged
that.  She was actually disappointed when she verified that it was not her
picture, since, she said, she could get $6,000 for what she called "theft
of intellectual property." It was not even the same corner.  When I got to
see the two side by side, I preferred the one I found, mainly due to the
richness of the colours.  I can tell you I will be looking up far more
often in the future.
