It's a good example of the reasons behind the question that regularly pops up here around photographer behavior vs. subject's rights in events like the WNBR.
Thanks for the background story... Too bad this stuff happens -- taking/posting such photos publicly is one thing (as you alluded to, it was in a public park after all) but titleing images as "money shot" is like salt in the wound and is so off-putting to most women. This just means she'll likely regret her participation, never choose to ride naked again and warn all her female friends of such perverts...no wonder that numbers are declining.
