Important Notes:

This package contains 6 photos of various scenic roads.  They are mostly from Mount Rainier National Park and North Cascades Highway, both in Washington State, USA.   

There are three photos at 4000x3000 (12 megapixels), one photo at 4000x2952 (11.81 megapixels), one photo at 4000x2928 (11.71 megapixels),  4000x2700 (10.8 megapixels).    And yes, some of the photos were taken with a hand-held camera in a moving vehicle.  Which is why the trim work.  Lots of photos were rejected for this as not good enough.  However, the driver refused to stop every quarter mile so I could take photos.  (Obviously, his priorities were a little different from mine.)

Rendering 3D characters to add to a background?  Here's a quick list of some very basic hints.  
1- Make sure the characters are at the same angle as the background.  
2- The light in the photo is the way the light in the photo is going to be.  You'll want to match the direction, intensity, angle, and color of the light on your characters and props.
3- Your characters need shadows so that they don't float.  Make a new layer below the character (in your 2D program), use a very soft round brush, black, 33% opacity (OR LESS) and brush under the feet and where the character will be touching things.  If you can make the shadows realistic, kudos...but any shadow helps.
