Shyam Menon’s ‘Guard of Honor’ gets my vote because of its contemporariness. The frame captures spontaneity while delivering an important message:
In this day and age we rely on brute force to safeguard our ‘future’ while the ‘future’ personalized in this frame by the inquisitive little girl has other ideas.

The half and half is good in photography. But My vote goes to ’Guard of Honor’, ’cause is a spot and spontaneous.

My favorite is half and half by Emily Patton, it truly shows contrast in a very creative and artistic way!

I must say, the contrasting of black N white in "Half-N-Half" is Brilliant. And those eyes, simply stunning.

Emily Patton’s photo is definitely the best one! The contrast is so stark and there’s so much meaning behind the picture. Her eyes are so clear and emotional, too. I say "half-and-half" all the way!!

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.

Worried about how you’re going to pull that Thanksgiving meal together by November 26? Luckily, there’s lots of ways to get a takeout turkey-day dinner so you don’t have to lift a finger in the kitchen. When ordering a turkey, keep in mind that a ten-to-12 pound turkey will feed four to six people.
