Composition-content
The angle of the shot fits the angle that she is looking, providing space from her eyes into the empty space. Also leaves room for text which is an added benefit for stock. I think that the composition is pretty interesting, I am sure that many people would think that you should have cropped off the pole, but I think composition wise it would have been pretty uninteresting without it.
Technical
Sharpening looks too strong here, resulting in jagged lines. Either that, or in the resizing.
My opinion
I like the composition and choice of B/W, interesting perspective. I think that pictures of pictures don't usually score too highly. Probably would have done much better without the compression/sharpening issues. Intreresting shot!

Neat. I think this would be great for stock photography. I can imagine it illustrating an article or a pamphlet on religion. I like the angle you took this photo at, and I think black and white works well in making it appropriately bland to be a backdrop to other material without losing its interest.

Your picture probably has a small audience, but those who like it will like it very much. I hope you understand this is meant as a compliment in every way. 7

This photo shows some jagged edges that look like either oversharpening or resizing to a size larger than the original maybe... - setzler

I'm curious to know what made you cut the picture off on the left side and include this pole that seems unattached on the right. The picture isn't too bad, looks like you might've lost some picture quality in compression judging by the lines being not so fluid. Overall not too bad, but I think a better crop would've served you well
