My husband on the other hand having spent an enormous amount of time setting the scene, checking the lighting etc,etc; would certainly have a very good chance of having his photographs placed on the maybe pile! As for Douglas Anderson...his would immediately go to the definate winning material pile!Photography is ART and the camera is the equivalent of manipulating the artists brushes in your hands.

Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. According to Tolstoy, art must create a specific emotional link between artist and audience, one that "infects" the viewer. Thus, real art requires the capacity to unite people via communication (clearness and genuineness are therefore crucial values). This aesthetic conception led Tolstoy to widen the criteria of what exactly a work of art is. He believed that the concept of art embraces any human activity in which one emitter, by means of external signs, transmits previously experienced feelings. Is photography art? Yes, I think it is.
