Try putting another peice of white paper behind the car standing up , so there's no background , and move your camera further away.

Your cam is focusing on the background not the car , if it's a digi cam , switch to close up , or macro mode , it should have a flower icon , and do the above.

Well , I had a go at making them better , first up the size was waaay to big for the quality of the picture. And if you decide to give it another shot with the pictures , take them from a distance , should work out better.

You can kind of see what's going on here :

See how the mouse is in focus in this shot? That's how far away from the camera the car should be, then crop in on it. Get a feel for the minimum focus distance on your camera, and don't get any closer than that... your shot will be fine.

Yes, like the others mentioned....

Back up a bit and then crop the picture to size.

It takes a few tries to get it right. Take some pics until you see the car clearly.

It took me a few tries to get some good pics.

Put down the cellphone. Get a real camera.

Barring that, keep moving farther away until it's in focus. It looks like it might be a really nice start, but can't tell....

Use MS paint, the stretch/scew feature under "image."
