Composition is a huge part of his photos, and it's almost always very good (I realize "good" is subjective, but I'm writing from work and don't have enough time to be less so). A child is not going to know how to take abstract photos of everyday objects and make the composition visually appealing, or notice colors or forms that contrast or compliment each other and capture them in a similarly appealing way. Skill is as much involved in photographing abstract shapes as it is in painting a portrait or taking a landscape photograph.
The child could call their photos art and they would be, but it takes skill to make that art look good to more than just their parents. John Celio ============= What he said.
