Visual Texture

The tire track in the sand is a great example of visual texture. The focus on close-up detail in the "track" fools the eye into believing that you are standing on a beach somewhere rather than simply examining a high-resolution 2-D photograph of a similar atmosphere. Each individual ridge in the sand is raised to suggest a third dimension that really does not exist. Our eyes have been deceived!
