jumps out

Leaps into view

Jumps out describes something that immediately catches attention or becomes strikingly noticeable: The error jumps out at you right away.

Often used with "at" to indicate the observer affected.

What jumps out seems to announce itself without effort—a detail in a photograph, a name on a list, an inconsistency in an argument.
