Designed to look like what you'd find in an old elementary-school science textbook; a little flat and grainy.

Your title is perfect for this shot. However, it lacks any punch to hold your interest.
Yes, exactly like most photos found in textbooks. I intentionally made it look the way it does, even though it makes the image less "appealing" as a work of "art."
Yes, this is an example of refraction, but as a photo it's poor quality and lacks any interest. Sorry, it meets the challenge criteria and that's about it.
It is indeed a textbook example but it doesn't hold much image appeal. I am sure this will definitely meet the challenge yet suffer from the votes. A clean background and further distance away would make this better.
