This was a pretty nice map: well designed and interesting puzzles. I found that getting just the right angle on the light-bridge was sometimes frustrating; you might want to make the landing zone a little larger. I also found that getting the right angle on the portal for the laser in the last room was frustrating; the portal helper didn't help at all, but, instead, made it harder. But these are pretty minor complaints; this was a very enjoyable map to play.

I thought all 3 chambers were excellent. Agree on the angle with the bridge - took several tries, but not sure how else to do it without making it too easy.
The last chamber took a bit of time to figure out

. the environment was excellent and beautiful to walk around in - nice reflections on the water. Exit after chamber 3 was visually very nice as well. Well done, can't wait to get into part 2....Thanks for creating.

Ah, so that was what I was doing wrong. It just seemed like it would be easier to portal the laser directly into the catcher.

Comment for Part Two: I thought the timer was unnecessarily too short. Adding a second or two would cut down on potential frustration and still provide a challenge but also still keep alternative paths from working.

@RogerL : I udpated the map giving more hints for the right angle. The solution is just to be in the center of the grate. I fixed that other problem too.

Thanks guys for testing and comment !
