To feel a bit weird about a photo

I’m absolutely prepared to be told IBU, i know I am but I’m surprised I feel weird about this.

So the school has a parents only portal where they post pictures of the children, (tapestry for those who know it) I’m happy it’s secure and you only see photos that your child’s tagged in. A new post came on this morning of my daughter and 8 other kids in her class doing an obstacle course. So again the only people who can see this post are the registered parents of these 8 kids, all 4/5 years old. There’s about 10 photos and in one a few of them are rolling on the floor, my daughter is in the middle of the frame facing the camera with her dress up around her waist, legs out to the side her pants on full show, the rational part of me again knows it’s an innocent picture obviously, they are all laughing and giggling but if I’d caught that picture I wouldn’t post it anywhere someone else could see, I don’t know all these parents, I can’t name all the 8 kids.
So my question is have IBU seeing inappropriate where it doesn’t exist (I’ve read the flaming of pants being called panties and people being uncomfortable), or do you think a polite calm email to the teacher asking for it to be removed is a huge over reaction?

I have no issue whatsoever in the playing, or the photo being taken, it’s only the fact it’s posted for people I don’t know (even only 16 at most, even though they are fellow parents) to see that is making me uncomfortable, im probably completely over thinking this and should just move on!

Wallhanging. Not saying it’s not odd, just trying to say it might only be OP that can see it & not random other parents to try & reassure.

Not sure about downloading as I never have.

Our school used tapestry in reception but they blurred out other kids in the pictures. I’m surprised they put a pic up with her knickers out! You can comment on the picture just ask for it to be removed

Thank you all for your thoughts, I feel less weird that it wasn’t just me who would feel a bit funny about it! I also showed it to a couple of friends who said they would ask for it to be taken down as well. To clarify you can screenshot tapestry because I did! There is the ability to link to one child’s account or a group, this photo was of a group of 8 children and those parents would definitely have access to these photos.
Anyway I sent the teacher an email, thanking her for such a lovely picture of my daughter having such fun and I was very happy to have it in my private collection but I pointed out it wasn’t a photo I’d share with others and asked if she would remove it when she had a minute. I received a very apologetic email, an explanation that she missed it and she would never have put such an inappropriate photo up if she’d noticed it - her words so she obviously understood my point. Photo has been taken down, so no drama whatsoever.

Good for you. Hopefully the teacher will be a bit more vigilant in future.
