Photoshop Endeavors

This week marked the publishing of my feature on Bridgewater College football players making the journey from Hampton Roads to the Shenandoah Valley. I put together the photo illustration above for the story, which made the cover of the Shenandoah Journal.

My editor pitched me the idea about a month ago, and we decided to run it before the first football game of the season, which BC won last night, 44-34 over Averett.

Two of the player photos were contributed from the Bridgewater athletic department, and the rest of the photos were taken by me.

So, I'm looking for some feedback. Any suggestions on photo placement within the illustration, and what could have been altered to bring out the character of the feature?
