the sharpness kills it. it makes the cars stand out too much and look like there is too much going on. the terri and gt looked spot on, if you could give the same effect to the focus you'd prolly be onto a winner. and add a bit of shadow under the cars to kind of mask the reflections, which arent 100%. the only other issue is, realy what you want the focus of the banner to be, the cars or the wording? the bright red of the flag takes away from the wording and the cars tend to take away from both.
check the aus starlet clubs banner. i reckon that is a winner of a banner.
