The definition of "child pornography" differs from country to country.
Yes, in terms of laws. This image might not fall under child pornography rules in some country or another, but that doesn't actually stop it being child pornography.
So "you know it when you see it"? But people's standards are not necessarily consistent, or objective. Do any of you remember the flap a few years ago when Oklahoma City banned the award-winning film "The Tin Drum" as child porn, and the cops there confiscated all copies of it? This is a movie that the MPAA had rated "R" (mature but not pornographic), and it won an Oscar and a Cannes film festival award.
