Your focus and exposure are near flawless, but I get a more window-lit feeling to this one than a window-framed. Perhaps cropping tighter on the man and getting him out of the center of the fram would have improved it for this particular challenge. All of the elements fit with each other very well, just not for this challenge.

Love the perspective, the lines, and the filtered light. Possibly darken the man a little bit?

Great location! Very fine use of light, very fine control of tone, and really terrific composition. Also nice to see the idea of "window framed" interpreted with some subtlety, rather than as an overly-literal smack in the head.
I can't avoid seeing this man as a prison minister or priest. And it's not just his stance with bowed head ... it's that you have managed to suggest an unexpected cathedral in this location, complete with soaring stained-glass windows! So he must be a man of God, musn't he?
It's one of the two best and most thoughtful images in the challenge (other one's called Bored on a Rainy Day).
I'll give it a 10 (which is no favour; a 10 from me is inevitably the kiss of death ... sorry!)

very stark in its composition. Like the gradiation in lighting.
