| It is truly amazing how an object like Woody can portray such a strong emotion. It was powerful to me even before I read your description. Great job on this photo, deserving of a ribbon. I was sorry to read of your loss. |

Congratulations on your Blue. It's amazing how you conveyed a human, heartfelt expression by using a wooden human figure.
Out of grief comes art. (sorry to hear about your loss)

| This picture is really great, I love the way it captures the emotion, even though it's a simple wooden man. I like it even more because it's capturing my current emotions, so thank you. |

| I never expected a seriously good photo to come out of something as silly as a Woody Challenge... but here it is. I liked it as soon as I saw it: beautiful lighting, pose, etc. Then I read your photographer's comments and now I like it even more! Congrats on a very well deserved blue ribbon. |

congrats on the blue - fine image. as far as despair goes, the week before this challenge was announced, my poor woody was devoured by a 90 pound dog named Grimm... ;}
i suppose i could have entered 'the pieces' anyway...
keep it up !

Wow, just when I think most of the voting population on this site is "off their rockers", the winner truly deserves it. I had this one as a 10 (along with the other 25 people) and it was a much deserved Blue Ribbon.
Congratulations. |

| I like the balance of low horizontal figure and a large 3/4 background. Just something about the light on Woody makes him just too grey, and although it's a shot of "despair" maybe his highlights could have been picked up more. I can imagine that with some tweeks, this could make a great enlargement poster! |

| I didn't think you could create emotion from a woody, but you did a fine job in this image. The lighting adds to the emotion of despair. Composition is really the best I've seen so far on the woody's. |
