I was happy that some of you "got it".
Shakespeare's Hamlet when Hamlet, upon seeing Yorick's skull, says "Alas poor Yorick."
Used the skull to represent radioactive elements, such as Nobelium.
The rock is actually a light volcanic one known as scoria. Here in NM, we have lots of them :)

I'm not sure I get the reference in the title. The texture is interesting, but the image fails to inspire any emotional response. Technically, I can't find fault except perhaps an ever so slightly too narrow DoF, but that's just nit-picking.

I like the Hamlet allusion. Intelligence is always a winner even if the image is a force for this challenge. 5

Another image of a rock... the back lighting looks OK but other than it is just not interesting or pleasing.

Composition is nice, interesting subject but, something is lacking. Just don't know what?

Lighting is wrong, too strong, you either have some lens flare or a large bokeh circle in the back.
