    For me, the background is just too messy and cluttered.
    There's work to be done here.
    Take out the wooden posts behind the car.
    And the building just above the roofline.
    Perhaps whatever it is going from the car roof to the building can go too.
    Unless it's the aerial, then you have to decide whether to delete it, move it a bit away form the building (artistic licence) or go back and reshoot from a different point.

    I think if you wen tin tighter and at a lower angle if you reshoot then you will find the other issues the SW mentioned above will take care of themselves.

    Over all I like the image but I think if you also added more light on the car with either a reflector or a flash you find it will "Pop" a whole lot more. Be careful if you use a flash of the reflections off the car. I like to bounce the flash off the ground. It sets off the rims and the low angle reduces the flash reflections.
