I'm thrilled that you like it, EV. I am learning to use Affinity Photo, which is an excellent program with many tutorials. I think it's excellent - but each to his own. I confess I played around with the tutorials to get the hang of the program. First I zoomed into the little photo and created a selection within the frame. I selected adjustments in the layers panel and played with the options and sliders until I got the effect I needed. Removed selection.
Adjusted the whole image: brightness and contrast, shadow and Highlights, Sharpen. That's as much as I remember. I'm pretty old as you can see from my icon.

If you should try Affinity Photo, search Youtube and Vimeo for Affinity Photo tutorials and a guy called Williams (Christy Williams I think) he does some easy to follow videos: no rush, soft voice, and his English accent is easy on the ear. Highly recommended for beginners.

Good luck.

Try a polarizer. When properly adjusted, should eliminate reflections from anyting non-metallic.

If you don't want to re-shoot the whole image, just re-shoot the photo without the glass and clone it in.

Simple - remove the picture from the frame.

What leftj said, or work on changing the angle of the picture until the glare disappears!

Ok, I need help. Took a senior portrait session and one setup was a "first picture, fav stuffed toy". The picture is framed of course and the glare is so bad you can hardly see the picture! Is there a way to remove the glare and let the picture shine through? If I google "remove glare" all I get is "flash glare"........ not what I need! TIA!!

If it was reshot as it, perhaps a polarizing filter would work. Not really sure, however.

I have Photoshop Elements 15. What I would try is selecting the image in the frame, go to Enhance--Haze Removal and put at maximum levels. This helps with water reflections, so it might in this case also. This procedure can be done more than once if necessary.

I did a quick shot at the photo by selecting the photo (in the frame) and then using levels on the photo. Then sharpened it.
