I believe these go by several names: Wood Spirit, Wild Man, Savage Man, Woodwose.
The Wood Spirit is said to be Lord of the Forest and Natural Things. Seeing one is said to be quite a lucky thing, and European villagers used to go out on regular hunts, hoping to find a Wood Spirit to foretell the future of their village.

It is said that the forest will stand for as long as the Wood Spirit remains to keep order. And if you're lucky enough to see one, health happiness, and good fortune will be yours.

When you take your Wood Spirit home, give it a place of honor. Your Wood Spirit will bring his gentle wisdom, humor, and luck into your home.

I enjoy carving wood spirits and these are commonly carved into pieces of drift wood or cotton bark but can be carved into any wood with the right tools.

great idea and fits the theme well although i think this picture could be improved if it was more in focus and perhaps would look good if the wood spirit was placed in a tree outside.

friiskiwi this is on theme, goal states that people can be in the photos but it also suggests that you dont have to have people in the photo either.

great shot, i like the way you can see the shape of the bottle in the stem of the glass.

this looks great in black and white, good shot!

This is definitly an error we learn from! nice picture and totally agree with your first comment. Vague comments aren't helpful for future submissions, especially for people new to photography and enter these competitions not only in hope of winning but probably more so for suggestions of ways to improve future snaps.

great shot!
