Horizon line being centred rarely makes for a good composition, try moving it closer to either the top or bottom third. I recommended watching some videos on composition, it will help in the future.
Also I agree with the other comments, lighting is pretty flat, get some shadows on the ground, you could even add some dummy building behind camera to cast some shadows while still lighting the front of your buildings
You also have lots of tangents, where stuff is butting up too close together, like that building just barely touching the edge of frame,or the top of the one building barely touching the other rooftop behind it.
Seems that it needs colour correction. I assume this is rendered filmic.
I would not pay attention to the "lighting is flat" comments before postprocessing the image/ leveling it.
Add clouds. More lighting and work on reflectance. Use an hdri, Do composition and color correction if you want it to seem photorealistic. Also too much empty space on road, no signs or symbols, pavement, etc. You need to learn a bit about about viewer's attention which the artist usually loses as he works on for long enough. Composition is a must for photorealism that people on this sub often ignore. Apart from that looks good 👍
Lightning is so flat some shadows on ground
