What well-orchestrated luck when that rollerblader flies through during the pan! And who says rollerblading is lame?

This is like a composition; it has a sense of cadence.

Bravo.

Beautiful, how much is said with just images and sound very much like clean, shaven.

A fortuitous catch, I like how that sounds. Ha, I liked the shot very, very much. I'm not sure if you messed with the sound, so I'm going to go with yes for the moment, now whatever it was it was great because the sound of the birds and the gentle wind gave me the impression that I was alone in the park. Then athletes and the cyclists and the bladers and the BBQ dude were revealed and I still felt serene and alone in the park. I'm enjoying these mood pieces very much. As far as I see it, we're a really moody bunch of people. Atmosphere is so rich in cinema isn't it?

Awesome stuff, Dave. A nice fortuitous catch: the rollerblader whose velocity momentarily matches the speed of the pan. I also like the sense of fluid composition: the camera kept moving *through* beautiful compositions, ones whose pictorialism and stillness where suggested ("oh, we'll stop on the man, on the bench, on the bbq") but never landed on.

Color on final shot truly lovely.

Very cool. Captures an unexpected vastness, touches the dead/zen/nameless. Sound is excellent, ominous. The circular simplicity heightens the experience of the lake, the park, the human beings. Begs questions which will never be answered. All those moments in life when we stand by a body of water and thoughts drift.

Well, that's what I experienced anyway.
