Congratulations, Christophe! What an adventure you have on your hands. And that's what I was trying to convey with my entry.
I wanted to inspire Emilie to keep the wonder of life alive, no matter where she goes. To go forth into this big world and be easily surprised and inspired. To look beyond the obvious and find the marvel in even the most mundane things. To believe in magic, laugh easily, and dare to be silly, even when everyone around her has let the spark of their inner child fade.

Ah, Christophe, you make my heart sing!
And, um, Lydia... both pant legs ARE in the boots. It's just that the left leg is below the edge, as I'm standing IN the ducky :)

October sure has been good to me :)

I am so glad you won a ribbon for this wonderful creation :) As I said, you are on fire, congratulations for this, but also for your impressive win at the Urban Photographer of the Year competition!
A creative masterpiece. I so love how you have combined the map and the water. Lots of other super details that make this gem shine. Congrats on the ribbon.
Johanna, you are so talented, I am very impressed of all your recent successes. This entry confirms that fact! It is splendid, fun, full of joy, and perfectly done. Definitely my favorite of the challenge. Thanks a lot!
My only nitpick (I'm positive that this will ribbon, but humor me... *grin*) is that one pants leg is in the boot and the other is not. It throws me off every time I come back to look since all the rest is so well done!
