This is a stunning image. The symmetry, the sense of height and space, the perspective, the detail and extensiveness of the stained glass work. The overall composition works perfectly. Your approach beautifully depicts the extraordinary work that can go into a man made building.

You have captured beautifully the extraordinary detail in this temple window. I love the shapes, the borders and the intricate designs. You have managed to shoot it from a perfect angle which isn't always easy. The black background is perfect too, to show it off.

What a stunning piece of work and how magnificently you have captured it. Its not an easy subject to photograph but you have done so in a way that beautifully conveys its ornate detail. Your composition is great, with black background and consciousness of symmetry.

This contest is for your colour photos of stained glass. This could be in any setting such as church windows, front doors, in bars and restaurants, as well as in beautiful Tiffany-style lamps. If possible, try to get the glass with light coming through it to show the colours at their best. Please only enter colour photos. I look forward to seeing you best images of stained glass.

I love this because of the colours, because of the symmetry of the three windows and because of the black background. Many stained glass windows are more ornate but the simplicity of this is stunning and you have captured it perfectly.

What a beautiful space. Your composition has captured the light and colour beautifully. The distance and angle combine to convey the sense of of a stunning and intimate corner of a building. The person with outstretched legs adds to this sense of a place of beauty and relaxation in which one might linger.

A lot of stained glass images are skewed and awkward because the photographer cannot get a good angle and the piece is just too big. Yours has no such issues. This is a stunning and perfectly composed detail, shot straight on. The colours are fabulous and the black background works a treat. I also like that its a circle.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at but the effect is great. I love the colours and geometric shapes with the combination of circle, triangles, parallelograms and converging lines. The black elements in shadow serve to highlight the beauty of the glass.
