Friday Lens Photo Variety

Our group believes that the photo from this slideshow that best shows variety is photo 15.  It shows variety because it demonstrates a combination of lines, space, and texture from Bobby Rush's clothes.  There is also motion since your focus goes from the upper part of the photo to Bobby's belt.
