1. Why can't it be both?
Certainly, there's nothing wrong with incorporating boobies in art?

3. If I HAD to choose, I guess I'd pick art...
The lighting is soft and interesting, and you don't normally see a "boobies" shot with the facial mask. It's an eye-catching pic.

4. Is there a difference?
I mean that honestly. I've never seen a difference between art and the female form; the two overlap and blend into each other so completely they become difficult to tell apart. Art and the human form in general are nearly one in the same to me, but it feels more so when the human form is of the fairer sex.

This, however, in particular, is purely art. It's a balanced composition, with the red and the pole (I'm guessing it's a pole) on the left at a slight angle towards the center from the left side, while the figure is leaning in a similar manner, slanting into the center from the right. This creates the negative space between the two, which is the main area the eye is drawn to upon first glance. From there it can go in either direction (mine went to the, as the bright red is more attention-grabbing than the light brown of the woman's skin).
Further contrast, in tones, is established by the colours; bright red on one side, with sharp light on the pole, while on the other end is soft browns and light grays, the light hitting in an easier manner, curving around the form and fading softly.

All of this, of course, it taken in within a matter of seconds. Then you notice the boobs.

This has been a thirty-second critique, by Shiver...[/i}

9. Ah, I did not realize this
He is very talented, but half of success in art comes from the subject. You make a very good subject, from what I can see. Photography isn't something I've ever been able to get the hang of, but I think you'd transition very well to canvas and oils... sculpture too...

14. Not bad
Slight abstraction, good use of colour... I work more in realism, personally. Well, realism and comic book-style...

Examples, albeit a few years old... http://afraidofpuppies.deviantart.com/gallery/

22. You screwed up the margins so I'm rating this thread Disruptive.
Have you seen B. Kliban's classic cartoon of a naked woman luxuriating on her back on a bed, but there's an apple pie on her groin. "Porn or art?" it asks.

39. Art...
I love that photo. It has great composition and use of color and light. I'd hang it on my wall and I'm kinda picky about art.
