 I know I will get really low scores for this because the link to the challenge is weak. I love how it came out though. Well. It looks much better without all the compression. PP rotate,dup layer, multiply at around 50%, vp, transparency, dodge and burn to give more shape to the wood. The original did have the main lighting, I just enhanced it. I can't believe I was able to hand hold this one.
Edit: For anyone that is interested. The title comes from the long curving piece looking like an arm and the main part of the smooth trunk looking like a belly. I really have to stop looking at what could be and start concentrating on what is.

It took me awhile to see the "Modesty" but it makes sense. Good shot.

Use lighting in a creative fashion this week so that the lighting itself is a key factor in your composition.
I'm not usually such a stickler for the 'rules' or the guidelines of the challenge. However here as hard as I look I don't see light being the key factor. The shot is not bad but at the same time not overly interesting either. I hope it does well and my comments are meant as constructive.
