Red White and Blue

I am currently struggling with a couple of watercolours - another "old man" and another "young people in love". To have a break, I looked over my many photographs on the computer. I was attracted to these three because of the fresh red, white and blue colouring. They remind me of how I enjoy colour in paintings and to emphasize that in my next two efforts.
Are photographs art, or just a technical exercise? I have seen some wonderful photographs in galleries recently. This is an ongoing debate in many circles. Share your thoughts.
