If you can't achieve that without portraying kids in an explicite way you're no artist anyway.

THe picture has achieved a lot more than that though. It askes a lot of questions of the viewer and of society in general. To me the main question it asks is answered in this thread and that is to do with the way in which modern society has sexualised children. People mentioned in this thread were too scared to touch a naked child which wasn't their own or even bathe with their own children. This is the problem, not the photograph..... To me anyway. The fact that 2 children just playing in the way that children do can be turned into something disturbing and sexual is the crux of the problem here, and in this respect Nan is the eyes of society rather than the pornographer?
