The distressing of the edge of the image is believable, but could be pushed a little further. The glass crack does not make sense as the printed image would not have a cracked glass effect, but rather black lines that imply the negative was cracked when the photo was developed.
This image is clearly meant to be antique, following guidelines in the project. The frays and smoky stains on the piece are done well, and they help that antique aspect pop.
The overall toning and distressed marks on the image are very well done, along with the blurred hands that suggest the restlessness of the child. Maybe try to go back and push the distress marks on outer edges of the a little more to help integrate the crack in the top right hand corner.
Great Job! The subject matter and execution of distressing the image is very successful. The use of different layers on fading makes the image feel as if it is sitting on the surface and not printed into paper. I would recommend looking into the visual difference between Wet Plate applied on glass versus blackened aluminum. The Crack in the image feels as if it has depth but the other edges on it feel flat like it is on blackened aluminum. see if you can rework these edges to add a physical depth to them like a drop shadow similar to what we see in the crack. Lastly I would explore adding more blue to the Child's faces, more specifically the eyes and mouth.
Basma, this image is great! You definetly got the distressed look and antique. I think I would push it a tiny bit more with the texture of the image to give image a historian background.
The vast variety of brushes used to create the edges make a beautifully complex border, but there are a few areas where the same brush is echoed too many times without distortion.
