Are you suggesting the selection process is a major factor in deciding if a photograph is art.
Not necessarily in deciding if a photograph is art, but if a photographer only presents us with one image from several because they feel it most decisively captures the moment or portrays the feel of a place most effectively, then there is something beyond simply presenting a record. With great photographs we may decide to call this art, or simply good craftsmanship, but I think it implies a level of creativity.
