I just finished my page for #8: Photography Challenge - Half a Page. And then I started wondering if I was interpreting it correctly. I'm guessing it's fine but came for a ruling anyway.
My photo takes up more than 50% of the layout, but it doesn't stretch from edge to edge. There's a border around it on all sides (probably 1 inch on 3 sides and about 3 inches on the last side). So I suppose it's not literally half of the page, if you meant "top half," "left half," etc. Still okay?
