BMW action composite
Does this action collage "work"? Or do you know what I am trying to do but have a better idea how to accomplish it? Thanks.

I don't think it works. The main image is not interesting--there's no drama and the DoF is way too deep. Maybe shooting from a lower perspective would help.
The smaller images are distracting and not especially dramatic. Maybe if their placement matched the curve of the road they'd be more appealing.
Overall, I think the composition needs to be much tighter and there needs to be some kind of blur or blend effect around the smaller images, though I haven't the slightest idea how one would do that.
Try loading the images into Hugin, it should make for an interesting composition.

I like the idea of gradually increasing size on the bimmers.
Thanks!

Thanks!
I took the "main" image as my starting point, the last car. I then asked which way I would be adding photos (in this case to the right and up) and had Photoshop add blank space to the canvas. This gave me room to move photos around. I took the next image, copied its layer on top the main, and reduced its opacity to about 50%. I moved that around until background elements lined up correctly. Now take the opacity back to 100% and start masking off what you don't want. Repeat.

Heh. Well, it's not strictly a tutorial, but maybe it should be!
