Creativity

By creativity I mean looking at how creative something is, and what sort of creation either man made or nature looks good put together.
Below are a few pictures that I took and decided to do use for this section, they are annotated showing what I like about the pictures, and how it shoes creativity.

This picture shows an old web created by a spider. I thought spider webs were a great way of showing creation, this is because I found it very interesting how a creature as small as a spider could create such strong and complicated webs. The creation of a web seems like art, the way it uses so many lines to create a complicated picture.
I really like how the comparison between the strong rock and the delicate webs is shown in this picture. The circular shape near the side of the picture created by the web really grabs the attention of the viewers, and draws them in towards the starting of the web.
In contrast to this, the use of lines created by the web sends the viewers off in different directions when looking at this picture. 
using a macro setting, I think the delicate yet strong web, can be really shown off, and represented as an amazing creation by nature.

This picture is one of my favourites due to the way its been composed and placed in the shot. The depth between the two man made items is seen to be very interesting as the lamp and the London Eye seem almost equal size to each other. The perspective in this picture allows this to happen and in a way gives a surreal effect. 
For this picture, I lowered the brightness and made the contrast very high, this adds to the silhouette feel of the picture, and also enhances the depth in the clouds.

Here i feel the creativity is shown through the reflections made by nature. This shows how nature is very creative in the sense that the image it creates looks very attractive and nice to look at.

Here i have taken the word creative in literal sense and created London to something i would like to represent it as. This shows man made creativity, because it is something i have created myself with the use of Adobe Photoshop. Hence it being man made. I really like this image becuase of the contrast and the angle of the photograph. I also really like the depth the image has in it, for example the clouds look very heavy and the parliament looks as if it is going to fall over anytime.

Autumn leaf in the style of pop-art. The colours are interesting, it brings the concept of colour paletteout. It is linked to how black and white is more man made, and colourful is more nature. I thought about making this experiment quite dramatic, by using bright colliding colours in the colour wheel. I desaturated the background, to get rid of the blue feel to the concrete.By doing this I think i've achieved a very attractive picture, that sums up the second part of my question "What is more creative?"I have taken the idea of creatively manipulating the image, and using it as a visual metaphor to evaluate the question.
