Well executed. I had this idea but couldn't have done it nearly as well. Top 5.

Comment by Journey:
This is a very nice image. I love the mood it invokes. I have just started voting but I suspect that this image will represent one of the highest, most sensitive representations of childhood. Love the yellow against all the grey. Love the composition with the yellow subject being surrounded by a lot of grey, room to breathe. I do sense so strongly the child of those boots and his/her delighting in the mud. It makes me think back of my own childhood. Thank you. Just started voting. My prelim. vote is 8 but will definitely revisit this image. Journey
Update: My only nitpick with this image is that the top of the boots are very soft. Since there are so few elements here (boots, mud, and muddy water) every one carries a lot of weight. And when I look at the top part of the image I notice the softness of the boots most of all. Final score: 9 Journey
