By far my best orchestration to date, of course it's not perfect but a great step forward.  

Take this for a spin!

I like the very subtle additions you have made here.  Pretty neat.

For example 0:36-0:43 violas or low violins with a new countermelody.  Same with the string run 1:25-1:26.

I really think you should give an extra beat or two of silence after the big forte ends at 0:59.  Let that quiet/reduced part that enters after it have more weight if you let some silence get in between the parts.  It could help create a stronger contrast.

I'd love to hear something different between both main sections of the song because it's pretty much copy and paste A sections.  From 0:00-0:59 and then 1:00-end are nearly identical!  For example, add something or take something away, anything to be different and not the same.  Between the sections you could create a contrasting B section that could make this your own too.  Something that could help you take this to the next level.

Watch attacks on instruments when they are playing the leads, slow attacks will make things sound fake.

Thanks for listening!

there’s a bunch I could improve, expand and experiment with. Unfortunately lack of time and a combination of deadlines made it impossible. 
 

In general I have to be pretty fast and trust me I know how all this sounds.

I will most likely make another version maybe in 1-2 years.
