Challenge: Glass II (with a twist) (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM II
Location: Holy Rood Church, Stubbington, Hampshire, England
Date: Jun 27, 2006
Aperture: f/16
ISO: 400
Shutter: 0.80 sec
Galleries: Interior
Date Uploaded: Jun 27, 2006

 Only natural light through ceiling 'rafters' behind cross used. Taken using tripod and remote shutter release. Cropped, Auto SmartFix and resized.

This cross is hanging from a beam ceiling whereby the beams are 'rotatable' to allow the light from outside to come in and be reflected by the glass. The church is in Hampshire, England not Iceland I'm afraid.

Thank you for all your comments. I have started to use photoshop to great effect. Have been using this on some previous photos and am amazed at the difference to be gained. Ref the last comment before close of voting: I have checked the photo and as far as I am able to ascertain a large proportion of this photo is in focus. Sorry that you were unable to see that.

This is a very pretty display. My only problem with the picture is it's hard to tell if the cross is hanging down or mounted on the ceiling - ie the perspective is a little hard to determine.

Good concept. But the backlighting is a bit overpowering.

The glare from the light source detracts from the otherwise cool photo.

Good luck.

I get a feeling this is taken in some Icelandic church, this looks very familiar.

Colors a little washed out, maybe more contrast would have helped..
