I wouldn't do it after seeing the other image. If you had made the pictures
apart, before, and would recognize it, it would be ok, this is not in my
book. I think it is already nice you know where the image was made. If
you'd wait for a misty morning and do it in b&w, it could be different in
atmosphere. Otherwise, just buy the image of the other photographer! People
say being copied is the biggest compliment, but it is for the person being
copied ;).
