You seem to assume that appreciation
of the visual beauty of the human form
and respect cannot or do not coexist.

Some Muslims consider exposing
and/or photographing a face in public
offensive; and consider any "street" photography
of women off limits.

You draw a line that states, "if you photograph a woman
in public you must include the face."

These are subjective, personal and cultural considerations.

You, of course, can draw this line
for your own photographic practice;
and viewing. And I respect your right to do so.

Others will continue to step over it.
