I think the piece is great. Art is, and always will be subjective as hell. I most recently had a small go around with Yahoo to get a small on line photo album that I use reclassified as as art and not pornography. As for the human male erection, it has been depicted in art, in all cultures from the beginning of recorded time. Ed, I think the piece deserves a place in the gallery, for the work of art that it is.

This forum is not a repository for personal attacks. I would ask that you
respect that rule.
I offered the entire membership an opportunity to express their opinion on
that piece before I allowed the gallery posting. No one gave it a negative
reply.
That doesn't imply that everyone one approved of it -- it was just an
affirmation that each member has a right to post their vision. I personally
do not like the piece. However, my dislike does not extend to a judgment on
the artist only on my own sensibilities.
You can freely discuss the art -- let's keep our judgments on our member
artists to ourselves.
There is no place for political correctness among true artists -- my strong
unwavering opinion -- as it stifles creativity.
Warmest regards
Ed McCormick

Please explain exactly what you are "protecting" children from by
forbidding them to view a natural part of the beautiful human body (and an
artistic representation at that).
And regarding "ones morals and convictions," please read the following
article regarding that slippery slope:
Full of Grace and Truth

I believe that "protecting" children from anything but puppydogs and
butterflies does them a great disservice (and our society by extension).
It's a shame when hangups like yours are instilled into the minds of our
future adults, who could be much healthier adults without them.
