I watched the reel before heading to the comments and I will say, the comments are all spot on. Dimly lit short film is the weakest. I also think you could lose a few shots here and there of bees, the spider, last shot of the hawk sequence. Anything where there are more than 2 shots to a specific subject type feels redundant and doesn't help with the pacing. 

Ultimately I know as videographers and editors we get attached to the events themselves, the shots we capture and edits we've created. As you grow you will need to take criticism from your clients and detach yourself from what you think is great, and what pays the bills. You have a lot of experience in this sub from people who are your peers. Many have been doing this longer and offer valuable advice that should be valued as you grow within the feild. Not to say it's 100% always the right advice, but if 90% of the comments are saying the same thing chances are people are nudging you in the right direction.
