In publishing the annual best ‘Photos of 2007’ of The Christian Science Monitor, the revered International Newspaper says the editors reviewed their image archives for the following, among other factors:

- Composition or content?
- Art or urgency?
- Does the image speak to the human heart?

Above all the Monitor has another important measure; does the image live up to the Monitor’s mission,

“To injure no man, but to bless all mankind”?

TamilWeek and TW News Features regularly carry photo features. Readers may find the following and the other photos of 2007 on Humanityashore.org-a pictorial portal, in similar limelight:
