 I couldn't find a real woody so I decided to improvise.
I shot this file in raw with a polariser filter. I cropped the image to focus tightly on the snake like log subject. I used the burn tool to darken some of the surrounding area.

Nice try, but this really doesn't meet the challenge.

While it's wood, I don't think this really met the intent f the challenge.

This has got to be one of the most pathetic entries in a long time. There's no sign of a Woody man in the photo, and the title suggests you're clutching at sraws (so to speak). After, how can there be a photograph of something mythical?

My deepest sympathies.

I can not see Woody, himself. The rules state to "Include Woody in your photograph this week."

I don't like the image: too many weeds and dry little branches.
Besides, DNMC.

DNMC. Would prefer the "python" to be darker/moodier.

a woody that has yet to be carved! colours appear quite flat, the sun and time of day will greatly effect the interest of the photo

I tried and tried to find the little wooden stick man in this delightful image, but just couldn't do it.
