    I'd say you can start by dumping the white background. Hell, just a car pic in the background that wasn't a "top pic" might be better....

    Good idea there. I tried that, but my film strip layers have some strange issues that I can't seem to fix and make the background image not poke through everywhere it should. I got that layered template file a long, long time ago and something about that file is just a little bit off... :( I need to keep looking into why that happens.

    Found out the problem! I think this is better but still has some "needs"

    The two center pics being the same car kind of bothers me. More color would be nice, three blues, two blacks and one yellow...not enough variety for me, do you have others?

    all the car shots seem a touch over exposed maybe 1/3 stop. Bring it down some and the greens will saturate a bit. The 1st car shot is hidden too much by the bushes as well. Maybe add a vignette to lead the eyes as well

    Reverse the filmstrip - black background, white strips. Try it out.
