As the old adage goes - art is in the eye of the beholder.
Unfortunately, too many beholders are in positions of authority to subjectively declare, "It's not art!" and have it disqualified.
Personally, I don't think of my original photography as art. However, images I've spent considerable time, effort and creative thought during post-edit...modifying them into something much more aesthetically pleasing and perhaps thought-provoking - might come close to qualifying as art.
But that's my personal, subjective opinion. I might look at someone else's work and personally think, "That's not art," - but I wouldn't ban it, lock it up or deny it's exhibition based on my subjective opinion. I'd prefer talking to others and find out why they think it's considered art.
