To see merit in the subject is itself a skill. To then enhance and transform the record/image to something which powerfully speaks to viewers is creating art (sometimes). Not many people can do this. Those who can are good photographers.
Photography is about communication. It is about touching the sensibility of viewers whereby they learn more about themselves and the world they live in.
In creating "art" there is usually a lot of thought. It does not come easy.
Note: the photo is by me of my cat. I don't profess to say that it is good photography. Just fun.
Michael, you are an excellent photographer, and much of your work is very artistic and meaningful to me. I love many of your photos that I've seen, and especially this one. Perfect capture of action and color with this shot of Gabriel.
