    Pro photographer being awkward.

    I would ask them "Do you think the image is of "profesional quality" and would they be happy to display the image as one of theirs.? Is this a single shot or multiple children (class shot)? Also a profesional photographer would understand that children move and so should compensate for it at...

    North England Formby National Trust Red Squirrel Reserve

    I don't think they can rely on the public to do the right thing unfortunately ... or to feed them the correct balance of food,, but the NT could, it would just take them more time and effort to do so and they are probably feeling the pinch.
