I made this image from a 1:1 macro, then I bent it and folded it.

Dang, I totally forgot about this challenge and don't believe I even made it back to vote. Phooey!

In your rule "Do not submit simple replications of existing creative artwork, but rather from someone (or something) being creative by nature",
I think some entrants are taking "nature" literally rather than as an innate quality. I could be wrong, but there seem to be a lot of "nature" shots.

You're right. But since so many contestants are misinterpret the assignment, I have decided to take no further action. Apparently I am here the one to blame.

I considered the "or something being creative by nature" to enter the picture created by "coincidence", which can occur in incidental scenes around us provoking associations of creativity. As to the photographic creation, it mainly manifests itself in excerpting such scenes from the rest of natural ambience. If the original idea was to record the process of creation, like of someONE creating someTHING, it would then be focused differently... I think the wording of the Challenge intro and rules allows for "natural" or "incidental" "creations". Maybe I'm wrong...

Not quite sure if this would qualify?

I took advantage of the fact that my Kodak Z981 was excessively sensitive to the color red and then snapped a sunflower using the macro mode with the summer sun right behind the flower.

Thanks for any responses :-)
