The lighting could be a bit better, especially on the right side. I understand you might have been going for that kind of an effect, but it just doesn't look good when looking at the photostrip in the background.
I also would have mead the photostrip a bit bigger as well. Not too much bigger, but enough to stand out just a bit more maybe.
One other thing I would mess with is the b/g. As you said it seems very simple (B/G), and just seems to lack depth if you know what I mean. Maybe add some other effects to it to make it more popular to the eyes.
Overall, not too bad though. Keep it up
