There are 5 steps you have to take when you want to describe an image:

2. Talk about its contents (axes X and Y; parts; pieces; columns and lines)
3. Highlight the trend: mention some outstanding data
4. Cover the details: mention important smaller pieces of information
5. Make a conclusion and provide your evaluation: what can we take away?
