Love the dynamic of the image, nice composition and symmetry, impressive point of view and sharpness. The only thing that disturbs me a little is the green area and the "hole" on the upper right side, this un balances a little the overall composition, same thing for the "Point" in the middle. If you want to exploit symmetry, everything should be symmetric.

I love the Sainte Chappelle, a true challenge for a photographer, I've tried to shot it a lot of times without achieving anything satisfactory. And I see the same problem here, It is really difficult to show the magnificence of the place with a single shot done in a traditional way. I will reward as a winner the first one who will shot the perfect sainte chapelle... Anyway, great shot.

Stained glass, that magical element in so many places of worship, provides a unique challenge for the photographer. How to capture that breathtaking show of backlit colour, whilst balancing it with its darker surroundings, and composed appropriately? When done well, it can (almost) be as good as being there in the flesh. *This contest is open to Photocrowd subscribers (Challenger/Pro/Master), or by purchasing entries.*

Great Dynamic and impact for this image, of a not so easy subject. What I love the most is the movement illusion that gives to the observer. A winner in my opinion, thanks to its peculiarity. What I can suggest to improve it? May be the composition, next time, try to cut off the lower part of the image to give the illusion of something really "out of this world" letting the observer understand what is looking at the second look.
Nice image, interesting asymmetric composition. I like the point of view of the observer standing in a corridor. I like the reflection on the stones and the overall light control, sadly the whites are too little high, for this kind of image I would try and HDR. Or if it is an HDR I would reduce a little more the highlights.
