Off topic by the second post, but why oh why can't professional photographers, printers, and website publishers capable of inserting sky behind a plane on the ground get rid of the flat spots at the bottom of the tyres?

At least it would be impressive, if it weren't for the great big flat spots at the bottom of the tyres proving the photo was taken on the ground.
It irks me quite irrationally far more than it should.
