Amis Mill, near Rogersville Tn.  Oldest stone dam in the state.
Some close flying with little or no GPS - stone walls, trees, overhanging branches and twigs!  Nerve racking stuff.

Thanks ALABAMA.  I appreciate the comment. It was nerve racking flying in and around all those trees and branches.

cleamon :

Nice capture of still life, with water moving. Good (daring) dolly/pans/gimbal moves as well. Liked the close side sweep move along the wall, noting inner, then outer window frame.

Editing: Transition at 1:21, moving from side-sweep to forward motion toward water. Question: was the original footage continuous (i.e. was a pause in place before the forward movement, now edited out) ?
If so, (and assuming a speed ramping feature in your editor--and your creative desires therein), why not restore the cut, then speed up (or slow down) the positioning, and maybe add some gentle camera shake?

Good music composition, light and airy---nice. Particular enjoyed the synth riff punctuating the bar ends (ba-dee-bah-dee-wop).

Keep Smiling,

Thanks for the feedback.  Yeah, there are several cuts/splices in continuous footage .  Again, I was not operating under the most stable conditions.  Sometimes when I stop, the drone would continue to move, or "wobble", other times I overshoot (or undershoot) my desired stopping point. I've tried with varying success to remove that.  The one you pointed out was probably the worse case. I continue to improve my editing skills every day (my flying as well).

I love these kind of subjects.
Thanks.

I understand the issue with smooth starts and stops, and am not trying to undercut your skills. It must have taken considerable patience to get it as smooth as you have.

What an interesting spot cleamon and well shot.

Nicely done.
