Boy it is hard to tell these days. The standards have become very tight recently and this one is borderline. The new general guideline that most are using now is whether or not the person in the image would know that it was them. If they know it was them by sight or by situation circumstances then a release would be needed.

The second person in the shot (the one in the forefront) could possibly know it was them by what they were wearing and the parachute itself (the circumstance).

You may want to try it and see if they take it but I am kind of leaning toward the fact they would want a release.

agree with Dave. I would reject it without a release.
