i don't think it breaks rules, but where i think it would be just fine
to redo an image previously posted to .images, i think redoing an image
previously posted in the competition is kinda poor sportsmanship, if you
know what i mean, and should simply be judged accordingly by the
voters.  the least the artist should have done was reuse the models but
change the camera angle and scene compostition.  i mean, really, how
hard would it have been?
