 This is my first submission, so please feel free to give lots of constructive criticism. I was looking for some creative way to display Geometry - stereotypes are incredibly boring. Since I love being outside, there I went... and my little sister provided the inspiration. Typical sidwalk chalk was too large, however, so I used the size they use in schools. White made a nice contrast, but it was too boring... hence the colors. I took it out on my driveway; the two o'clock sun was my only light. Hopefully the lines, angles, and quarter circle are sufficiently visible. As I have no photo editing software, my only post processing was to resize it to be within the correct number of pixels. Please tell me what you think...

Critique Club Review:

I might have waited till a little late in the day for the picture. 10 to 2 the sun is almost directly overhead and makes features look flat.

Rotating the camera a bit so that the expansion joints in the concrete formed an X or two triangles, on inverted over the other might have helped also. Or if you had made the suquare teh chalk was in a triangle, by putting the intersection of the expansion joints at the very top or bottom of the photo so that you only see two lines coming together.

I like the way you arranged the chalk. Gave the picture a nice effect.

Nice take on the challenge. Very creative with minimal resources. Hope you enjoyed your first challenge.

I would like to see more definition in the lines on the cement.
