Default Pixels not paintbrushes: But are we artists?

I was just reading some comments on a pic I posted, and Ranger_22 referred to it as "art". Perhaps he was just being facetious, but it got me to thinking. Are we, as Joedios contributors, considered artists? We plan each picture, we set up the shot, we take the photo, and sometimes alter it with photo editing software. I suppose thatis as entitled to be called "art" as some of the stuff that earns that title. There are certainly some talented people posting work here, that's a given. The subject matter should make no difference, only the skill of the execution. If the beholder sees it as art, then that presumably makes it art.
