The "woody" reference cracks me up also. I wish the photo had a bit more impact somehow, perhaps a light shining down on the figure, leaving the hat and grass in natural light. There are other possibilties, including the one you have here, but there needs to be some impact in a challenge of this type. While I wouldn't go so far as to say it DNMC, it needs a little help. Even turning the head towards the camera a bit.
Looking at it from a technical standpoint, you did a good job with the dappled light, focus was really good too (most sensors dont read light, dark, light very well). The grass in front of the hat and figure are somewhat distracting also.
Overall, I do not believe the 1's and 2's you recieved were deserved, but I can see the others.
If it were me, I think I might have tried to find an older more ragged (well played with) version of the toy placed a bit haphazardly with the hat and titled it Forgotten. Might not have scored that well in this particular challenge (tribute)
