We are all made of stars..... I love that thought. :)
Much of the universe's water is produced as a byproduct of star formation. When stars are born, their birth is accompanied by a strong outward wind of gas and dust. When this outflow of material eventually impacts the surrounding gas, the shock waves that are created compress and heat the gas. The water observed is quickly produced in this warm dense gas.
From a biological standpoint, water has many distinct properties that are critical for the proliferation of life that set it apart from other substances. It carries out this role by allowing organic compounds to react in ways that ultimately allow replication. All known forms of life depend on water.

Congratulations Samantha! Your interpretation of that difficult challenge is simply beautiful. The smoothness and blending of the different photos is incredibly well done, it really gives an feeling of serenity.
Technically really good work; wonder why there are pebbles on the soil, though, might be a tad too much to put in one picture. Ribbon candidate nevertheless.
