I asked for some help to create a collage here. (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=43962&highlight=) In addition to those tips I also got some tips and inspiration from "Be_There" in PM.

So I came up with this, what do You think?

ps for some reason on this resized version it looks like the big photo is not aligned with the second in the bottom but when I examine it in the original size it is?

I think it looks good... Don't really know what to critique except the "design" which looks fine to me.

Good job.

Tommy, not a bad attempt, but I do have some criticism for you :P I'm no expert so don't take it to heart.
I personally find the background in some of the shots very distracting, especially the ones with buggies; could you experiment with blurring those backgrounds so that it is just colours, not objetcs, or perhaps even pasting the foreground onto a simple gradient background (similar to the background in the main picture, which could be cloned, or patched, or healed even). I don't know how good you are in photoshop, but selecting the subjects will not be a problem I don't think, if you use the correct technique.
I think this has great potential if you experiment with it in that way

I think it's a really nice idea you have to give them this collage, good luck with it.

Tommy, my suggestion would be to try a version with blended borders rather then each image having a frame around it..

Otherwise Great idea...
