Is it just me or you (or any other person over here) find the above work style of yours extremely similar to the one I made? Now, I do not know if the similarity is intentional or unintentional but please know where and when to give the credit when inspired and kindly, refrain from getting over-inspired.

When I opened both the edits in different tabs and was continuously switching tabs, it seemed like the same style/theme was executed by a beginner-who-just-laid-hands-on-photoshop and a decent-editor-who-has-been-in-practice-for-a-while so yeah, other people can also sense plagiarism, if that helps in getting the guilty feel guilty.

Thank you for the support, Som. Now, if the person would just stated where the inspiration came from, I wouldn't have minded at all. Yes, wouldn't have even when this crosses the fine line between inspiration and over-inspiration. I'm very well aware that plagiarism is as old as the art of editing/photoshop or basically, art of any form is. Scores of people on IF and else where have been through it and have reached a point where they don't even bother anymore. I being new to this just felt hurt because we invest hours and hours into this and this is just unethical. I know I have a long way to go before I set a standard of my own as an editor, so, may be down the line, I'll learn to not bother either.
