Trying to replicate something that already exists, without adding anything unique to the mix? You mean copying? Then showing it as yours? Does that create any value? Where does that even lead? I mean if you recreate it in order to learn the technique, that's good. It's like in the bbc show where they were sawing logs in front of an orangutan and the orangutan copied the action, but didn't really know why. To be clear I don't have any problems with this photographer's work, just remarked that each and every waterfall looks the same on Flickr.
