Could this be regarded as a portrait ?

[jcharris]

My daughter asked me to take a photo of one of her pony dolls .
So , i got hold of one of my wife's older curtains for a background .
I first tried with the normal lights and a flash , but it was rather dissapointing
I put all the lights out and took the photo in the dark , just used the flash , and was quite surprised .
Would like to know what you think , and to get back to my question as well , could this be regarded as portrait ?
If not under what category could this be placed ?

Thanks and regards
