Very nicely done.
amazing.
Worthy. Sobering. Sweet.
Brilliant. Finding that extra, transcendent, element (personally, and in the final edit) seems to be the challenge -- the ability to move beyond the stringing together of pretty/disturbing/compelling/thoughtful images to communicate something greater than the parts.
Beautiful!
