I am a photographer and an artist. I seperate the two because I consider them two very different mediums and types of images. True photos are images as well as oil paintings, and any pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, and now computer drawn. It is very obvious to me that your image is computer manipulated. The skull may be a real photo scanned into the computer but once manipulation such as filters and the like have been performed it no longer becomes a photograph it becomes a digital image. Whenever I sell works of my images in my gallery I am very careful how I present my works I say weather it is digital or photography. I think this is important to note to the buyer. For several reasons. Anyone can take two pictures one of an elephant one of a butterfly and digitally place the butterfly onto the elephants trunk this is made possible by photoshop and various other programs and while it looks like a nice image I would say that it was much more impressive if you actually worked to get a real shot captured on film of that scene. So to answer your question no your image is not a photograph. (even though it may have a photo in it) It is a neat image and I do like it . Hope that helps. Thanks Mike :)
