Interesting. What about pictures of people? - If I put makeup on my face and call it a work of art, and someone takes a picture of me in a public place, do my copyrights still apply? Or if I jog regularly and spend time shaping and trimming my body, does my unique physique retain it's copyrights in a similar photograph situation?
As with most things legal, the answer is probably 'it depends'. Both of those could probably win in court with a good enough lawyer, a poor enough opposing lawyer, and a credulous jury.
