Post Challenge: Woot! A personal best! I think I shall make it my goal to fill my highest scoring images with woody shots! :)
Ironically, I spent much less time on this than many shots in the past. I had the idea from looking through the list of song titles and thinking nobody would pick this title (LOL). I had to watch my 1 year old in my office while I was printing out the photos for the frame, setting up the shot and editing (not much). Total time was about 20 minutes start to finish, but elapsed time was close to 45 since I had to chase Riley away from every dangerous thing in my office!
As usual, I immediately saw things I wanted to fix right after posting, but had no time. :(
Thanks for all the votes & comments.

I just happened upon this looking for LydiaToo's remark about Irene's congratulations 'stamp'.
This hits me beyond words. I guess it's my age, just turning 60 and seeing many things in a different light. I actually cried when I looked at all the elements and thought that went into it.
Wow, no wonder it's a personal best, that's impressive. Easily the best Woody shot I've seen so far. OK, so it's like 6 shots, but still a good contender :)
Excellent Mr. Priest! Nice work on this woody masterpiece. YOu gonna put him back together or leave him for future challenges. I think you should do a DPC Enquirer story on it. Conflict of interest be damned! :P.
I can't believe you disassembled a Woody for this! Oh the horror! Did you at least put him back together again, the poor broken man? Really a very good shot Ken - you have an amazing knack for generating emotion with these guys.
i love this. The frame in the backgroun just makes it. My ONLY problem is that one sliver between the far right frame and the middle. that little sliver of white snatches my consentration away from the foreground but over all a great shot.
Only one person I know of that would go to this extreme. :D Hope it does well for you. Did you try using a polarizer to knock the reflections down on the picture frame glass? Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.
Love the 'family portraits' beautifully conceived and executed. However not so sure about the main character. If this is a progression through his life a slightly older, more worn look would have been more appropriate. As it is he (she) (it) simply seems surrounded by his own bodyparts. Nothing missing - simply displaced. Still worth a vote though :)
I like this picture. Good idea and excecution of the same. But I am sure you are going to get some bad comments about using a stick man as some here are tired of seeing one.
Very nicely done. A great image that truly conveys the meaning of the song title. Having completed my voting, I re-visited this image and bumped the score up... this is a Classic.
