Capturing the beauty of nature. aka making art.

Many times we ve seen pictures or paintings of nature and we do consider them art works, yet we re faced with a statement nature is not art. I agree with that statement, art is creation of human mind, and human emotions. Its a human made discipline, that nature has no intrest in. Something may be beautiful, but when we capture something with a camera lens, or stroke of paintbrush, we give it perspective, a subjective view. We may see it that way, and we may believe its how its true apperance looks like, but no two people will see the same image of our world. They may see similarities but not the picture, impression, or emotion. Hence my explanation of human captured images of nature being a perfect fine art material.
As subjective beings, we cannot help but to see the world uniquely, we are all different, and scenery of a sunset may be different, or it may invoke different feelings in all of us, the picture of setting sun already has framework set, and aims at invoking certain feelings.

1. How big is the difference between art in nature, and nature in art
2. how would different people from different cultures percieve a picture or a painting vs real thing.
