This picture shows texture in a natural setting. The reflective surface of the water is used to enhance the light in the image that give the surface of the water a 3D look so that we can see the individual bumps of it.

Here we are given an example of texture on a living animal. We are given the texture in the image in the form of wrinkles on the chimp's face. The texture of the face differentiates as the face begins to merge with the hair on the animals head giving it a rough texture.

This shows texture on a larger scale. The texture that we can see in this image is only presented in the form of the way that the rocks pile up. Since we can not see the texture of the individual rocks, we have to judge the image by the way that the rocks themselves collectively give the image a jagged texture that is rough and uneven.

In this picture we can see that the texture of the animal is clearly represented through light and shadows, the individual wrinkles are made more prominent through the high amount of lighting and the use of a black and whit filter that highlights the tone of the image.
