hated the music, shots all looked pretty good, i think you can whittle it down more to your best though. without going through shot by shot, i can say that some shots struck me as "Woah, really cool!" and some struck me as "Yeah, that's fine." Wouldn't it be better if the whole thing was "Woah, really cool!"?

Personal opinion;
Loose the intro graphic. Your not applying for a motion graphics position.
Loose the first shot, start with the kissing shot.
The shots in the woods with snow on the ground are looking pretty good from a production value standpoint, move those up front. Pack your best stuff into the first 30 seconds.
A question you have to answer is what kind of work do you want from this? Because in my experience producers are more interested nowadays in full spots when they are looking for a DP to sell to clients. They want to see you have done something similar to what they are trying to sell already. In that vein, if you really want a reel try incorporating more segments of projects rather then a random selection of shots. It makes it look less like you are trying to be varied but have only feature five projects (this is transparent) and it's easier to get a feel for how you have treated each project.
Anyone can get a good shot here and there. You need to show you can cover a scene top to bottom well and consistently.
Good looking stuff.

You are right William, thank you very much for you ideas. I know it´s not good to make showreel with just some random shots instead of more segments of projects.
I made this reel just for fun and i will use it as promo to music bands and so on.
I will make another showreel, where i will show more segments of projects i have worked on.
