I wonder, can this be considered art?

Really, what constitutes itself as art these days? If I showed the picture alone, would people interpret it? If I gave the picture a meaning, a caption, a story, a purpose, would people believe it?
Could I be a genius?...
The image on the right is taken from photoarts.com/. Now the very name implies photographic art, and the end result is something so utterly crappy .. what's to stop me making some money out of this? The pearl necklace thing; no story, no background, no interpretation. It's just a blurred neck with a necklace. I think I'm doing the wrong degree.

I'd wager it's supposed to be erotic. The soft lighting, bare skin, blurred, dark tones, and of course, the pearl necklace is obvious in meaning.
