I would have posted the photos on the page and there would be some of the blurring of the images so as to avoid harshness that would fall in the eyes of the leader. There are different types of the issues that are there and also there have been a lot of the issues that are part of it like the sensitivity of the people. There are different types of the people who read the website and it would be unfair to post the images fully thus a little blurring will not be a problem.
