Magnificent! Got a 9 from me.

I especially love the detail on the underside of the shade (although that seems too inadequate a word for it); Art Deco perhaps?
I only just noticed that the signs of the zodiac are included in the central circle.

Comment by tvsometime:
Something like this needs to be framed perfectly or will at least be enhanced by the effort. Nevertheless the detail is intoxicatingly precise and just maybe, the slight off center adds a bit of instability. Bump anyway

Comment by JakeKurdsjuk:
This photo loses so much impact when it displays in the reduced size necessary to put 1000px of vertical image in a horizontal window. When first loaded the image displays full size and the details of the stained glass are visible - really extraordinary. Then it compresses and BAM, all that impact is gone. I say that not to knock your choice of orientation but to, perhaps, explain why this may not do as well as you had hoped. Let's hope that's not the case. 7 (though I may be back to bump this at the end)
