Well, I did have permission and was even encouraged to take the photo(s), but I see your point and have to agree so I'm not uploading to anywhere.
when I clicked and found her face missing very offensive for some reason. Almost like stumbling across kiddie porn on the web. If you don't have her permission for such a an intimate image, how could feel good about exploiting it?
Just to clear this, the photo was taken in a public event, seen (and photographed) by hundreds of people, so I didn't feel it was that intimate. Of course that is only because I know the context, and now I understand how it may look to someone who don't.

The same way I see other people uploading photos of sports people taken in public events. If I recall correctly, one of the big 6 even encouraged this with something like "there's plenty of ways to photograph a football player without showing his face".
