+1 @ much of Scott, although I'd be cautious about certain metallic papers as they can have a cast in the lighter areas that may not allow for the neutrality (i.e. test print) or mood that I think this image calls for.
As to the bright area having reference to the ceiling ... I get that. I'd just look to utilize the space between the clock and the boy as being my "bright area" more so than the area on the left. In that way, we are drawn through the boy, to the clock, columns, balcony, roof a bit more instead of being "yanked" quite as hard over to the left edge of the frame ... if that makes any sense.
imo, it requires a judicious balancing act that will require some thought and reflection, i.e. give it some time to resonate as you work through it. You've got a timeless piece here, be sure to give it sufficient time to marinate in your head. It just depends on where you want to draw your viewer's eye as to how much tonal presence you give to the differing areas ... it's all fair game relative to your vision for the image.
