make photo stay in place and text slide over it?

The bulk of our site currently copies a pretty popular design feature today, wherein the reader scrolls through a page, and a background image incrementally gets covered up as the new content gets pushed in.

We have almost copied this design feature -- except on our site, the picture isn't covered up by other content as the reader scrolls, the picture is simply contiguous with the rest of the content, and you scroll past it.

There's not necessarily one best way to do it; but does anyone think it might be better to do it the other way? Perhaps we can put this off 'til a later iteration, as the only benefit it adds is making the site look a bit sleeker.

Just leave it in place and backlog this ticket.

It's a small thing, but we're taking a common design and user expectation
and falling just a little bit short of it.

Should we correct to fully use this design feature? Or does anyone care?
