The Difference Between Smut and Art

When is a nude shot Smut? When it is done to just be gross...

There is no way these shots would ever be called smut...

The love between these two very good friends of mine shines out from their very avatars!!! Many of these shots were taken at the same settings with different filters...I love playing with those effects!!!
