I am convinced that the depicted scene could possibly be the preferred thing for *re-creating* the photograph from scratch (possibly in a slightly different manner), not the preferred *form of the work* for making *modifications* to it. That's a significant difference, IMO. > To created a modified photo, the photographer > would rearrange the scene and make a new photo, not alter an existing > one. As I said above, this is not *modifying* the work, it's *re-creating* it from scratch (possibly with variations). Just like re-writing an executable program from scratch, rather than modifying it: you do not need any pre-existing code in order to re-write a (similar) program from scratch, but that does *not* mean that the source for the original program is an empty file!
