observant
Quick to notice
Observant means quick to notice things: She's very observant—she spotted the typo immediately.
The word suggests attentiveness and perceptiveness about one's surroundings or details others might miss.
Separately, observant describes someone who follows religious rules and practices faithfully: an observant Jew, observant Muslims who pray five times daily.
