Requesting feedback on my InDesign project

Hello everyone,
I would appreciate if you guys would give me your opinions on what to add or change about the text/ layout on my magazine project.
Basically, I have to create 3 pages with the same idea but different stories.
This is my first page. Not sure if the font title looks good but I spent like 2 hours looking for a good one and nothing looks great.
Also for the background image, do you suggest any changes to the shadows or what not? I'm kind of a noobie - so I would appreciate it if you could explain with easy step by step instructions ![]()
Thanks!
