The web is a publishing medium. If you are not making money off of the
picture, then I think based on what you said there would be no basis for
suing you on the grounds of invasion of privacy. However, if you use their
image in a context that degrades their status or reputation, then you are
open to being sued for pain and suffering.
Be seeing you.
