My second choice since my first choice didn't pass validation. I don't like it as much, but what can you do?
5 consecutive images, no gaps.
Open all in RAW, copy and paste into one file
rough select my kid in the top five layer, feather, invert, delete leaving the base image untouched
fade shadow on left to better match rest of image
select and feather sky to increase blue intensity
touch up chains
flatten image
crop
size
D&B highlights
clone out sensor dust spot in sky
border
Save for web

I like this idea for a time lapse photo, and I think you executed it well. The only thing I dont like is the first two captures, and the overlap between them. I would have preferred a little more separation between the two.
Just a shame the spacing isn't perfectly equal, its just the one far left that isn't conforming and perhaps the image would have been better without it.
