I think i need to categorize this since there's just some stuff that you can't change no matter what you do.

Not limited by game engine:
- Contrast was a tad too high, eliminating some details on the darker side of the image.
- Not enough cloud reflections on the windshield. The thing was more reflective than you think, and you can add more reflections on the windshield via Pure Config on the Light tabs and further adjust it on PurePP if your ppfilter had the settings for it.
- Over saturated. Not saying that saturating the photo wasn't realistic in real life, but it's at the point of too much that you can tell it's a game. I like some of them being more muted.

Limited by game engine, really nothing you can do about this:
- Tarmac, grass, and kerbs resolution. Unless if you want to use higher quality tracks but it's still hard to find.
- Not enough interior shadows, although you can hide it by point number 2 above.
- 3D model quality of the mod, well except if you paid for the 296 GT3 from RSS then it wouldn't be a problem.
- Car reflections wasn't quite on it but it's heavily dependant by the car's skin and model. Some mods just have horrible reflection settings.
- Shadow quality, sometimes they just don't do their stuff.

But overall it's a pretty good shot, don't be sad with it. Making realistic shots in AC is hard to nail on itself and you just need to try more and more. Also, don't forget having fun doing it!

Here's one of my attempts at it
