Half - Portrait

This is the Wikipedia description of a portrait and the one which I tried to follow for today’s image.

A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

This is one half of my number one son, Chris. This is the half that’s getting ready to go and play a rugby match. The other half would be wearing a crisp shirt, suit and tie. I love them both but in this half I can more easily see the little boy who was kind, thoughtful and a little bit mischievous rather than the successful business person he has become.
