All right, the location is excellent, no way.. but I can't say
the same about the spinning. Stop thinking about the moves,
cause then the spin look flowless, inconsistent. Yes, orbital
is nice, but 4 times, same anti-spin why? Spin the basic,
sometimes doing simple weave looks much better, cause you
need a lot of practise to make more difficult moves look easy.

I wouldn't go as harsh as the poster above.. What moves that you did, you executed well and most of them cleanly. But I do get a sort of feeling, that you do some move, then you idle for a few beats, and then you go on to do another thing. It does kill the flow kinda. I think as wonderful looking as the location is, it was your detriment, as it allowed for too little movement.
And you did kinda overuse some things. Out of all the 4 modes, you did split-time same-direction for the vast majority of time, and it does get tiresome. Experiment with all of them, opposites can be used for more than just butterflys and antispin hybrids. And don't forget same-direction same-time. The 1.5s were a very refreshing thing inbetween there, it's a shame you didn't do anything more with them. Explore what other cool things you can do with orbitals besides just letting them spin infront of you.

The video production is very awesome and good quality, so by improving your performance you could make these videos epic as hell.
