[photo-3d] Hyper and Normal stereo from plane?

I received this message from a friend:

He forwarded a copy of the view and it did not work well
for me.  The wing seemed out of place in the z-dimension.

Can someone explain to me what happens if you superimpose
a normal and a hyperstereo like that?  Where is the normal
stereo positioned?

I think I have tried this myself and I remember it did
not work.

What has worked is movement of clouds while taking a
hyperstereo of Grand Canyon.  It looks as if the clouds
have depth, in addition to the depth in the Canyon.
