Woody images always look too artificial and uninteresting to me. Except this, which gets the all-time best, most imaginative Woody prize. So far, also one of the best images in the challenge.
I couldn't help but see this as a recreation of escaping the Hatch from Lost!:-) Regardless it is clever and very well done! Love the pose of the Woody as he makes his climb out of the shaft. His wooden hand peers up at the light, looking to see how much further he must go. I especially love how you have the 'inner seam' (for lack of a better description) coming out of the left bottom corner and stretching out to the horizon line above - it acts as a wonderful leading line. Superb job!
