I agree with Cristóbal about the light and texture. I'm a little torn about the framing though. I think I would have tried to either include the whole quote or much less of it, possibly even none at all.
I re-registered (with a mispelled username) specifically to say how much I like this image.
I actually like the framing as is. The quotation sets the place and cropping it off hints to the viewer that the quote isn't so important. (I'm a big believer in the subliminal message of framing.)
Nicely done! I love the lighting from the display cabinet reflecting on his face and glasses.

Nicely done in every way.
