Best Use of Variety

Photo #7 in the gallery, "Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta" is the photo my group chose that represents the best Variety. I chose this photograph because the mother is holding two children, and though they are twins, they are not the same. There is also a background that represents variety, with trees and then grass.
