I really hate the way Woody shots are treated on this site. I am convinced people are jealous because they don't have a Woody or do but lack the imagination to create a good shot with one. In any case, I know where at least one of your 10's came from.
Thanks for the 'cringe of pain!' Nice job on an underappreciated shot.
Your subject is not very interesting. The Woodies are hard to handle in photography, if you use them you should make sure that it results in something unusual and unexpected. On the technical side, your subject is lit too flatly and casts distracting shadows on the background. (You can prevent this by moving the background further back.) The picture might also profit from a stronger contrast, it would add to the nice textures in the wood. 3.
