Not bad. It is a bit dark and a tripod would have helped. Good start!

You chose a very difficult lighting situation for a car shot. Because cars have so many reflective surfaces, (all at different angles, hood, windshield etc.) it’s hard not to get some unwanted reflection. You ended up with a glaring reflection of the overhead garage light on the right side of the windshield. You might have eliminated that by standing up on something, and shooting more of an overhead shot.

Try editing your photo by using a healing brush on ‘replace’ mode. With a soft edged brush, replace the reflection using a sample of the windshield directly next to the unwanted reflection.

Even outdoor shots in nice bright light can be problematic. Consider getting a polarizer filter for your lens. This will be helpful to sharpen outdoor shots by eliminating glare. The windshield and side glass will actually look clear and see-through, like glass is supposed to.

As to unwanted reflections, ever notice how amateur photographers seem to end up with an intrusive reflection of themselves and their camera reflected on the side or back of the car. (You never see that on a professional shot.) To prevent it, avoid positioning the camera head on to the reflective surface. Move it slightly up or down or off to the side.
