A photo becomes a portrait when the subject along with the background, lighting and emotion can evoke a sense of connection between the viewer and the portrait photograph. Photofocus

This portrait is like a classical painting with chiaro oscuro and the more you look at it, the more you realise that this little girl means business. She is much more than her surroundings.

Caught in a second? It looks like that. I am sure he was about to smile but right now, before the defensive smile, you get the real man. He has already judged the photographer and I am not sure the cameraman comes out on top. Love it though...

The light does not make sense and is there an ubiquitous mist filter here? Who cares, there is a connection here. She means business and her attitude jumps out of the frame. Live it, love it

This portrait breaks the rule of the connection between the model and the photographer. Actually, there is such a disconnect here, that it makes the photography for me.
