This is gorgeous, Allesandro. Congrats on the ribbon! My score narrative was much like yours, starting with a run in the 8+ range then sliding and wavering all week: I was at 6.85 with two hours to go and plummeted on only 5 votes at the end...

A tree can make 10000 matchsticks. But one matchstick can burn 10000 trees. So, Never Underestimate!

A tree can make a hell of a lot more than 10,000 matchsticks, but who's counting?

What's bothering me here, Christophe, is that the gull-wings are stretched out in "soar" mode, but the action requires that they be in "climb" mode, 'cuz the bird has to be clawing for altitude with all that drag holding him back.

Usually your attention to detail is a little more pervasive. Still, an amusing scenario and an almost-certain ribbon.
