 Just an old rock I had picked up somewhere. I was trying hard to find something when I was reminded of this rock. I had picked it up cause it looked like a Y & brought it home to stick in my flower bed. LOL I also have one shaped like an L a heart & one that kinda looks like a ship. I have a rock fetish, he he. Among other things.

Wow, very odd that I would get 2 of your photos one right after the other.
Anyway, the lighting on this seems awefully harsh. There are hot spots on the rock to the left of the photo, and the grass seems too bright as well. You could experiment with different times of the day, or maybe find a way to block some of the bright sunlight without making the shot too dark.
I think focus and clarity are excellent in this shot. The DOF really helps to get background elements blurred and 'out of the way'. The thing I don't like though about the background, is that there seems to be a 'seperation' of 2 types of grassy areas. There is a longer grassy area in the way back and a shorter grassy area in the front. This seperation line is just about right in the middle of your photo. I think that maybe it would have a higher visual appeal had the seperation line been lower in the photo. I hope I explained that ok, kind of hard to explain without pointing to the photo and saying 'right here'. lol
This shot isn't really exciting to me. It's not drawing me in. It is definately in interesting rock, but just not something I care to look at for long periods of time.
The Y is very obvious and fits the challenge well in my opinion. Overall, an interesting shot that could benefit from different lighting, but not a photo I'd hang on my wall. ~Heather~

Great lighting. What is this? A standing stone? Very unusual. I like this entry.

Not sure about Y. Maybe "U on a pedestal".

Could've saved this one for the "Giant Oven Mit" challenge which I know is coming up soon. ;-)
