How so?   Granted some of the surface features depicted may nor be the most typical of what would be encountered on each of those bodies.  Such as on airless mercury, which has been geologically dead for several billion years, it should be uncommon to find rugged rock formations exposed on the surface that has not been worn down to subdued rounded form by billions of micrometeror impacts.  

But what do you think is distinctly wrong and impossible?

Perspective and lighting. Impossible is your word, not mine.
