This photograph of a starfish was taken by Jochen Lempert . This photograph is a good example of the thing itself. The photograph is in black and white which gives the illusion that it could have been taken a long time ago. The background is alternating black and white squares and looks like it could be a table cloth. The starfish is centered and your eyes are immediately drawn to it. This photograph could also be an example of detail. You can see the texture of the starfish and you can tell it is rough and bumpy. The background appears to be a cloth-like texture. The thing about this picture that really stands out to me is how random it is. There does not seem to be any connection between the starfish and the checkered background, which makes it interesting to me.
