Yes! A little tweaking of levels to bring out details is one thing, but I almost feel like some photographers overdo the post processing just so they feel like "artists". I have made my fair share of highly manipulated images, I don't consider them photography, I consider them digital art. Maybe I'm just being a semantic snob?

Exactly. Manipulating images and building a whole new world is a completely different thing which I do love but that truly isn't photography anymore. And I do appreciate good photography which is talent, effort and years of training. I don't think over tweaked or over saturated, every little detail enhanced photos are good photography. And that's not being a snob.
