He thinks that the Chase building is losing his Big-Bank-Structure-in-Middle-of-Parking-Lot appearance.
Nope, that's not what I meant. What I do mean is that it looks like the building painted on the scrap has been cut off. It needs to be finished so it looks like the end of the building.
The other problem is the changing point of view possible. See the different angles in your photos. It might work to improve the illusion by moving the free-standing CHASE sign closer to the backdrop to 1) disguise the end of the backdrop building, and 2) prevent a change in viewpoint that would make the painted backdrop seem odd from certain angles.
Similarly, you might want to not paint the tree on the backdrop, but rather use a "half-depth" tree (all branches on one side so it can be planted against the backdrop) to further the illusion.
