Horizontally and vertically align tikzpicture includegraphics and text

Question

I have a document as follows:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,landscape]{report}
\usepackage[a4paper,bindingoffset=0cm,left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm,footskip=2cm,landscape]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node {\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{example-image}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\quad
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node {\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{example-image}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\quad
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node {\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{example-image}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Which produces this image

I would like to horizontally and vertically align the three images on the page. I would also like to add some text above and below each image.

Note I must use tikzpicture as I am using the answer here. An example of my desired out put is as below (done roughly in paint)

The content is too wide for the page, as LaTeX tells you. And why are you using TikZ? — cfr, Nov 27 '16 at 23:02

As it stands, the content is simply too wide for the text block. It is probably easiest to set the scaling as a proportion of the block width.

TikZ is not needed or especially suitable here. You probably want to handle these as sub-figures of an overall figure. The subcaption package can help with this.

For example:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,landscape]{report}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,footskip=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \caption{Some text above the whole figure.}
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image}
    \caption{First, an exciting contribution by unknown artist.}
  \end{subfigure}\quad
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image}
    \caption{Second, an anonymous mystery.}
  \end{subfigure}\quad
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image}
    \caption{Finally, an inscrutable offering by artist unknown.}
  \end{subfigure}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If the text above isn't meant to be a caption, just use regular text. If you need to refer to the figures or sub-figures, just use \label{fig:whatever} after the relevant \caption(s).

EDIT

If you really need then to be in tikzpicture environments, that's fine. Just nest them inside the subfigures. You just need to alter the size of the images included, obviously, to make room.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,landscape]{report}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,footskip=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \caption{Some text above the whole figure.}
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \node {\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{example-image}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \caption{First, an exciting contribution by unknown artist.}
  \end{subfigure}\quad
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \node {\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{example-image}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \caption{Second, an anonymous mystery.}
  \end{subfigure}\quad
  \begin{subfigure}{.3\textwidth}
    \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \node {\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{example-image}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \caption{Finally, an inscrutable offering by artist unknown.}
  \end{subfigure}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Hi @cfr. Thanks for your answer. I should have stated that I do have to use tikz, as I am using this solution: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/333026/positioning-a-tikz-callout-box-relative-to-image to have callout boxes automatically resize depending on my scaling. — Steve Hatcher, Nov 27 '16 at 23:57
The point is, you don't need TikZ for this. You can put the tikzpictures in the subfigures with the images inside nodes inside the pictures. But for labelling them, you still want captions and you still want them to be sub-figures if you want separate captions. — cfr, Nov 28 '16 at 00:03
