Si, e no.

The problem I have with it, Roberto, is that the framed picture is too strong to make the whole your own. Unless, of course, you also made the smaller image-within-image too!

I really like it roberto, the reflections on the picture frame and the woman looking up appears like she is checking out the old wall.

That's what I thought too.

That's the first that I noticed when I looked at it, really nice shot, but, still, I stay with the love me or not as my favorite, man, for me you really capture the essence of the moment, and my wife will blame you if I decide to go over and look for that girl. The image and her, really caught me. :)

Going back to this one, the old wall, the frame, and the painting really come all together to make a nice composition and also to tell a story.

I really like the composition, and wish there was a way to focus a bit more attention on the relationship between the frame and the cracking on the wall--can you lighten the frame and darken the cracks in order to increase their tonal similarity, and therefore make them more equal in visual weight, such that the eye can move more freely from one to the other?

I do see what you see in the photo and I like it too, but it is not the whole story.  Is it interesting that she is not looking at the wall? That is happening too.  Art works are generally closed systems.  That is what, I think, Rob referred to when he said the painting is "too strong".  The painting will kill your photo unless you kill it first.  There is some glare on its glass, but not enough.  Spray paint running from the wall across the painting and back to the wall again might do it.

I think you nailed the exposure but it loses me in the composition?
