Just take a look at [this picture](https://www.looksmartmodels.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/lamborghini-huracan-performante-spyder_03.jpg), you can tell immediately that its a model car even though there is nothing in the picture to compare its size to. My guess is that the paint isn’t authentic to our eyes, but are there other reasons as well?

A big one is focus and depth of field. You see how the front wheel is in focus but the spoiler isn’t? That doesn’t happen when the camera lens is much smaller than the object.
The depth of field effect is so important that by manipulating the focus you can make real scenes look like toys. This is called “tilt shift” photography.
