0It is a reasonably common informal expression, but with the definite article: 'to bring something into 01b 00the02b 00 picture'. 'The' because the 'picture' (= problem/discussion/consideration) you're speaking of has already been mentioned. 02br 02br 00You can also step back for a perspective on the problem and 'take a look at the big picture'.
