I think people's reactions to a painting made from this photo will be determined by the subject matter and will not have anything to do with how well it's painted. I don't know how people would respond in Australia but in the United States there would be some strong opinions. It's a politically charged subject, ironically, stirring up a lot of emotions about what is really just a natural and beautiful behavior. There are some very controversial laws here about whether nursing should be permitted in public places, for example.
Is this to be a gallery painting or a commissioned portrait? If this is intended for a gallery you might want to ask gallery owners in your area how they feel their clientelle would respond.
