I'd remove the rack, reroute the rear brake cable over the bars, lower the stem a little, trim the brake housing, center the tire labels over the stems, add a good looking water bottle, and take it outside to a nice spot for glamour shots.
No matter what I do I can't get the rear brake cable routing to look right to me. It looks wrong both ways to my eye. Oh well.
