Hi Candisa. Many thanks for your comments. I understand what you are saying about the window frame but there was some object that would have been a distraction down by the bottom right corner. I guess I could have cloned it out rather than cropping and I agree that this would have been an improvement.Chris N. Sweet February 17, 2009
Nice shot, Pete. Well exposed, I have tried shooting stained glass like this and it can prove difficult to get exposure right. You have nailed it though. #7174331Peter W. Marks February 17, 2009
Thanks Chris. So many Cornish churches are deserted during the weekdays and usually unlocked so regardless of whether or not one is a "believer" it is possible to sit quietly in a several hundred years old pew and think about life. Very calming. The surrounds to the window were too dark for what I wanted so I did a simple adjustment in PS. #7175374Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
