    I had high hopes for this video. The forest is stunning, but I found your random pauses to look at random tree trunks or vegetation on the side of the track frustrating and boring. You have a great camera, and the image is clear and crisp really enticing, but please if you are going to pause to look at vegetation remember you might see something interesting but the camera may not pick it up for your viewers.
