Awesome. Wish there was a ittle more light so we could see the details in the window, especially the top round part of it. Wonder what the signifigance to this window is. It's beautiful. And not many of these around anymore. Lighten the photo just a little more and I personally would be thrilled.

Bright, colourful stained glass. The subdued colours of the surrounding walls, etc. sets that off well. It's a little busy, however.

I like the composition you used of including the area surrounding the window even though it is pretty dark on my monitor. The window itself is awesome, I would have been so tempted to do a closeup of some of the window details; I imagine that it could be breathtaking.

You were headed in the right direction. Either to zoom on the stained glass, or, boldly walk up closer for your photograph. Good effort.

Great window. Looks like it could've used a little more exposure. I'm not real sure of the crop either. I think it couldve been cropped tighter. This might've taken care of some of the exposure issues. I think that the way this scene has been shot, the more exposure would bring out the church a little more. - Inspzil

COMPOSITION
I think overall the composition of this shot is effective and strong. The sign is in a good spot to "anchor" the shot, and the top of the ridge leads from left to right and up to down nicely. My only suggestion would be to frame it so that the edge of the sign and the edge of the formation weren't so nearly in line. It almost makes it feel unbalanced to me.

TECHNIQUE
I love the colors on this. The reds and blues provide a nice complimentary/contrast with each other, and it is really attention grabbing. The focus is awesome, with details showing throughout the picture. One thing to consider might have been a lower aperture number that would cause the formation to be blurry behind a crisply focused sign. Don't know that it would have been better. Just different.

OVERALL EFFECT
Very nicely done. It is the kind of picture that grabs your attention then holds it.

Good job. Must be a prett long exposure. They're usually hard to take because of the low light. Good luck. Jacko

why did you include the dark areas and not just put the windows in the photo, or, lighten up the rest of the photo in post processing? i think you lost some of the effect by combining the dark room with the window.
