Would high contrast black & white be considered photo-manipulation?

[Bored Person]

I need to know so that I can put it in the right section on DeviantART, thank you!

yes. anything that makes the image appear any different then its original form is considered manipulation. anyone who says any different should retake digital photography 101.

Best,

Not really.

Probably not. If the essence and the truth of the photograph remained the same then I will say No.
