Shooting a picture is one thing; shooting a damn good picture is a whole other thing. Filters, frames, lenses, timing, patience, attention to detail. Photography, as an art form, is fucking hard to pull off. Now, is all photography art? No, of course not. Side: It takes practice/skill/vision
The act itself, of clicking a button on the camera, is not art. The process and result, on the other hand, is indisputably art. Granted, it's hard to draw a line between the mechanical and the artistic, but I think it's safe to say that when you go out with the intention of creating a picture, you are creating art.

A couple years ago, I had a really vivid, beautiful dream and set out to create a representation of it, linked below. Unless by "picture," you mean "photograph," it meets the criteria you've given to be considered "art." Is it? Side: I could shit more artfully.
