Bringing it back on topic lol
What i think u could do to make this pop a bit more is keep the kinda dullness of the background (Contrast wise i mean) and make the forground and effects more vibrant and a bit more saturated.

As with Joey though i'm not a fan of the thin stroke borders. I think if you're gunna do it, do it properly and do it with Cinematic borders. That's just my personal opinion though and you don't have to listen to me at all :)
