I'm working on an image for my website that is based on a photo

would like to include in that image part of another photo, this one
licensed under creative commons attribution license, in a way that
would result in a totally new image. Does the attribution license
allows me to do that?

I first thought this was a derivative work, so it would be ok, but
from what I read it seems more like sampling...

I believe you're okay with CC-By. You probably are obligated to include
an attribution for the CC-By images used in the work (and it would
be polite to include attributions for all of the non-original material,
of course), but otherwise, my understanding of the license is that
it allows this kind of use.

Cheers,
Terry
