I added little arrow pointers to some of the labels so that they look
like talk bubbles. I think they direct your eye without being
distraction. I didn't do it for all of them because some of the
labels are really just captions for the entire image.
I don't really expect people to understand everything in the
screenshots, but I do think it will be good opportunity to get them
acquainted with some of our terminology. The Get Started Guide is
really where people should look for more explanation.

Frankly, it's hard to follow if you're not already familiar with
the product. At a minimum, you should add a pointer (line, arrow,
can be curved to make it prettier) to link the "bubble" to the
feature.
If you want to be creative and go with visual only, break-up views
and few text, consider going "manga style" for the layout : a black
outline separating the various zoomed in spots and a sense of
narrative going top-down, left-right throughout the whole thing.
Cheers,
