Hi..I have been struggling with this layout all evening.
If you could give it a look and any suggestions would be appreciated.
I changed the backgrounds of the pictures from red to green and that
seemed to bring your eye to the events that are unfolding.
I was working with a lot of different shapes......
Any way thanks for looking.

there are so many lovely photos here, but they aren't in any order, or they seem to go anti-clockwise, which is not the natural way the eye travels. the background pattern draws your eye away. I think perhaps, because there are so many photos, the bg should be plainer. Perhaps use a strip of the pattern to draw the eye to the final pic, which could also be larger? I always think there should be one "money shot" and you've got to milk that one, the others are just (good looking!) supporting crew to get your eye to there. (lol, does that make sense?)
