  1. Photography tip: Put the cars in the foreground and the pictures in the background and it'll look more realistic.

  2. Got it. I'm having some technical issues with lighting, background, focus, and the skill of the photographer.

  3. I think it's cute how the cars are sitting at odd angles on top of the backgrounds - it gives the pics a goofy charm.
