Creativity in Levels?

I know that there are many people here that are capable of making nice levels, some greater than others, but there is one thing I think peoples levels are lacking, and that is creativity!

So someone posts a level, the level is nice, detailed, and colorful.
It has some water, cliffs, sand, grass, trees, desert, etc.
Lots of people enjoy it, and begin to make similar levels as they are appealing, and eventually almost everyone is using the same style...
Eventually it gets old. Whenever I look at levels on the forums, they are the same old things! I haven't seen anything new or original in a long time!

This is what you should probably expect to see when someone posts a level:

Beginner Level = straight paths, sand path, predefined house, predefined bushes, rocks, straight cliffs(predefined), non-linked trees, and tile errors...

OK Level = windy paths(no sandpath, other style), interesting houses, interesting detail, jagged cliffs, a nice beach or cliff going into water, linked trees, few hardly noticable tile errors...

Advanced Level = good looking paths(perfect blend between the different styles), awesome houses, great detail, windy cliffs that go everywhere and look good, nice cliff of beach going into highly-detailed water, perfect waterfall with no errors, linked trees of all colors, barely any tile errors...


OK, well this is all good and fine, I still have yet to see something that has style and creativity!

I want to see creations. On a rare occasion I have seen things mashed together(bottom of a rooshe, top of a bush), and odd looking statues and stone creations, but they usually look horrible and don't work well...

Tile I think could be interesting: Bush/Rooshe/Sprout, Jules, Cliffs, Tree Roots, Small Trees, Large Bush, Large Stone, Treehouse, Statues.

Maybe you guys can post some creations or something? -_-
