I disagree with a couple of the critiques that were made on other blogs about this image. I actually really like the flares seen in each lens element (and they are different colors - which means that your lens is multi-coated against dispersion... anyway).. each flare creates a line that all leads to a central point down the middle of the lens' aperture. I also like the fuzziness a little bit up in the corner, because it is distracting yet keeps my eye down in the middle of the frame with the flares again.

Next time, try and diffuse your pop-up flash a little bit, so it's not entirely harsh. Try a piece of tape, or an index card in front of it, essentially to "bounce" the light.

I really like this video! I have a lot of respect for folks that have the patience for timelapses.
I enjoy the music that you put to the video; I think it helps the story. I also like how you did weather, instead of, say, cars moving down a street. I enjoy watching the colors in the sky and the various times of day.
The only thing I would try differently is the transitions/panning/zooming - I'm not a huge fan of those effects in this video. I watched the video that you based yours off of, and I'm not a huge fan of it there, either.
Just nitpicky things, which I tend to be good at...
