 This image shows shape through the pattern of the fruit skin itself. The shape is a square/circular shape with wavy outlines. The outline of the shape is green and makes the outline easier to see.

 This image creates a swirl shape because of the angle the picture of the stairs has been taken. The shape seems to be going on for ever and ever and gets smaller and smaller as it gets further away.

 This picture shows the shape of the fruit and then the heart shape that has been cut out to create a different type of shape.

This image shows glass, round, circle shaped balls. The red one stands out from the picture because the others are all green. This makes the red ball the focus of the image.

My definition: shape is an outline of an object.
