Very nice! I'm finding that actions shots like this work best. I did one of a pipe organ with the pipes sticking out of the frame, and it just didn't have the pizzazz of the other shots.
As for the frames, before you add the drop shadow, select the layer that has your frame, then go to Edit - Transform - Warp. On that setting you can bend the edges of the frame a bit. That's the simplest version, using Photoshop CS2. I can't remember if warping is available in earlier versions.
If you want to make it REALLY realistic, you would need to do a corresponding warp on the background image inside the frame. The trick is to warp the background without warping the part protruding from the boundary. I haven't had time to play with that, yet, but I think you might need to merge the frame with part of the background so that you get a consistent warp.
