It's an odd shot and there are a few things I like about it:
the legs sticking out at the bottom of the painting
the painting itself, it's blurry but you can tell it's a nude (makes me wonder who painted it and who the model is)
the telescope pointing out of the window, at near street level instead of the sky.
though I know you took the shot, I want to say those are your legs and sneakers, don't know why.
bizzare.

Bizarre it is and wrong you are. It's not me; I shot it. Wouldn't be a pic without those legs; weird blurred female nude above, man's legs and sneakers below. Somehow it works for me, but....

But - despite the good composition and all of the above, I'm responding to the photograph as though it is an amusing joke. Once you've heard it, you don't necessarily want to hear it again. If that makes any sense.
My problem, I think, is that 1/4 of the photo is taken up by a dark blob. Objectively, I see that having that much of the woman who is holding the picture helps balance the rest of the picture nicely, perhaps even adds to the mystery, but it just isn't working for me.

perhaps the artist is using the telescope to find his/her subject for the nude.

Well, at least it amused you once; I'll take that.
