This is a first attempt. Critiques and suggestions and most welcome and desire. Not sure it is recommended, but it is a video.

Good start. I'd probably eliminate the zoom/pan and stick to simple fade transitions. The music is a sticking point with youtube. It could give your channel a copyright strike which is bad - you only get three before you're banned.
Of course, we're photographers, not botanists but if you can add information about the kind of flowers you're showing might be helpful.
You're only one step away from a vlog!
Hope that helps.

Thank you. I did not know if youtube would accept this. I did this in LIghtroom. Still working on Resolve. I am working on one with photos from a powwow and my flute playing in Resolve. But right now spending more time on learning Resolve than getting anything accomplished. I did audio tracks in Audacity with different flutes so I sound like a group. As for a vlog, I just do these for my friends, no one wants to watch an ole man. I send flash drives every quarter to my friends and some places to use on their TVs. Usually they are just photos for the waiting room. Trying to learn new things and keep my mind stimulated.

I see, so basically you're making a virtual picture frame. Maybe try filling the frame and doing more 16x9 crops, closeups with pan, etc...

That is what I normally do with just photos as TVs will show the photos. This was something different just to see if I could. Thanks for the idea on how to do it for my second attempt.
