You're the one saying that my opinion doesn't matter, then arguing my 'opinion'. If it doesn't matter, then shut up.

Stone, you would go a long way towards credibility if you were to simply say you, personally, don't think it's art

Credibility is worthless. People willl argue with me whether or not I say that it's 'just my opinion'. See above.

I'm sorry that I had to be the one to inform you that on the massive scale of the world, you as a single cell, don't count for much value. If enough people think it's art then it's art and they really don't care what you think.

if one person thinks its art then its art, and he/she wont care what everyone else thinks.

I'm quite confidant that Ansel Adams would disagree with you there.

There is a big difference between Anesel Adams and some person taking photos with a digital camera.

That's not all that hard to do, just a technique known as masking which i'm doing right now. It does look good though. Actually now that I think about it it looks like he has used the modern way of using photoshop instead of traditional masking, i'm not too sure.

Thank you.

See, now, I thought that it was art. I waited until the sun went down behind the house, so I'd have light, but no shadows. Also, the mulch in the background looked richer, and the rocks looked more 3-D without direct sunlight.

But, if you say it's just a picture, then I suppose it's just a picture.

Well, most things taken with a digital camera can't really be considered art unless you alter them in some way. Art requires you to do more than just press a button and decide on a composition, the whole processing and developing of a film, making prints et cetera requires alot of work to do right, just like it does to paint a picture right. That's just my opinion though, and my opinion says anyone can take snapshots for a few postcards but it's not really art.

Art is alot about meaning and ideas behind the work, that's why going out and looking at something and taking a picture because it looks cool isn't art.

Hhmmm. That's interesting. I thought I knew a little about art. I guess I stand corrected. LOL.
