the thing that caught my eye was the shadows. if you compare the house shadow to the car shadow, the digital artifacts are different

I have to say, it's not a bad effort, but still clearly fake. I think you did a decent job integrating the shadows, but the perspective of the car relative to the rest of the picture and the lighting give it away.

Check out the reflection on the side of the car. It looks like a good reflection.
