There’s a great discussion happening here based upon the Photoshop vs. pure photography argument.
There’s been a debate for as long as I can remember over whether a photograph is considered a “work of art” strictly on the attributes of it’s own creation (composed entirely in camera via settings and available light), or if digital manipulation (Photoshop) is an acceptable tool in enhancing an image to where the artist originally envisioned it, AS the picture was taken.
Interesting thoughts from a variety of artists.
