Yeah one of those where the only thing in focus is the car...

On a similar note, there are interesting techniques to make a scene, e.g. an aerial view, appear as a model. Essentially you give the impression that the only thing in focus is the object, so you really blur the foreground and the background. The tactful insertion of hands can help too! There was a great guide I had bookmarked but it's not longer in existence so here's a couple of second rate links (slightly photoshop biased, last one is best):
