Excellent job Steven, as usual!!! And I must say, love the transitions. ;-) Very nice! Icing on the cake.

beautiful

nice

Great job Tara! Steven, nice!

Nicely done, Steven.

Really nice, loved the slo-mo waterfall, and very nicely narrated, too. Colour grading was also spot on as with all your stuff.

(I think your daughter has this wonderful fresh wholesome look that someone like Disney would go for in a big way; you ought to get her along to a theatrical casting agency if that's something she fancies...)

Steven, good choice using your daughters voice over
nice images.

Excellent work, Steven! Good luck!

Excellent work Steven!

You are the reason I got into film. I stumbled onto this site somehow and after watching your videos, I felt an inspiration I have never felt before. I've been going through some very tough times in my life, and I had lost my passion for all things I used to enjoy. I felt very sad and disconnected. Your videos touched my soul and sparked a new passion in my life. After two weeks of devoting every free second to learning everything about film, I just posted my first video... I hope you get a chance to see it and comment on it, it will mean the world to me. I hope one day I can get to your level and inspire someone with my videos the way your videos inspire many people on this site.

That´s exactly what I feel: your videos touch my soul. Congratulations Steven,I want to be like you.

Great colours and really nice shots!

I liked quite a lot.
The exposure and saturation of colors great.
Very good soft editing and technique.
Young lady speaks like a TV professional.
and such a beautifull, sweet freckles.
I wish you good luck and hope
you will win.

Thanks to everyone for your very kind comments. I don't have time to comment individually but I read them all.

Just thought I'd join in to whats already being said... excellent work.

Wow, thought I just saw a PSA on the Discovery Channel.

I’ll echo how you have influenced my interest in this medium. As a Landscape Architect, my profession is very visual. Your talent (and passion) has shown me a new medium to present the dynamics and beauty of the natural world to the public. I’ve twittled with video for a few years now. Every time I get discouraged, I see what you’ve done and know there is a future.

Keep up the good work, there’s a lot of us pulling for you.

What a perfect competition for you, Steven! Beautiful!

can't beat that ! great job steven !

That was beautiful man! Your work has seriously inspires me to become a better film maker.

Fantastic Job, beautiful photography, great script and Tara is a natural. Your work is indeed an inspiration to all of us. Bloody well done!

Good job Steven, My iphone is full of videos I shoot, you know to show people what my odd looking HV30 rig is capable of. and one video by you, this one vimeo.com/1307229 I usually say: "This is what I want my videos to look like. Today My iphone get another video.

Really nice! I'm sorry I missed seeing this to vote on before the deadline! Can't wait to show my son Nikos.

Wow - congrats on making this stunning and moving piece!

My eyes welled up.

I will pass this on to a lot of friends - including my non-Vimeo friends.

Great job Steven! I love your work, you have a great eye and vision for putting your pieces together. Although I don't believe in man-made global warming I still do my part to keep my planet clean as I think everyone should. Great imagery to get people inspired.

I love the first shot. Beautiful.

Thank you every one who voted for me by viewing this video. I just got the announcement that this is the grand prize winner.
