CURATED PHOTOS | MAY 29, 2017 | FRANK LASSAK

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. (Wikipedia: definition of portrait)

Although one might argue about this definition, I think it is a quite suitable, and most pictures submitted for this week's curated photo stream have met the above mentioned criteria. Hence, the selection was not an easy one. Thank you all for sending in your great works. These are my favorites.
