Is this photography? Or is this just art?

So photo manipulation, should this be considered real? I love the effect that HDR gives to these type of photos. Brings a sort of surrealism to the photo. KWIM? Now this isn't like bringing in elements to the photo that were not there to start with; this is manipulating what is there and bringing out certain aspects. Making things POP! Who would have thought a dreary day in London would turn out so beautiful?
