Is it just me...

Just want your opinion on something. I have been participating in a design website called crowdspring, where designers compete to land the winning design for a customer. Recently I entered in one where the buyer wanted a girl at a salon and spa, getting her nails done. There wasn't too much direction or details described, so I came up with this:
The buyer gave me a rating of 4 out of 5. So, I thought that was pretty good! Well, then my only competition in this design race (this girl has posted about 5 or 6 different designs, most of them getting 1s and 2s from the buyer, one with a 4) gets a little jealous and designs this:

Is it just me, or does this look EXTREMELY similar to mine? I mean, the color scheme of pink and blue, the flower accent, the towel (even the shading on the towel) her pose (I mean, look at her hand placement!) the nail polish and files, the bowl with the left foot dipped in, the floating pink gift certificate, the name in pink at the bottom. Everything screams copyright. I sent her a message. We will see. It is funny though, because when submitting your design you have to check a box saying "I created everything in my entry and I didn't copy anyone else's concept." Anyway, compared to her earlier designs, these look nothing like her previous style:

So, you can check out the update HERE. Let me know if I have a fighting chance!
