Oooh.

(Usually you give my vocabulary a decent stretch, but mere words won't do for all the paradox and beauty in that image.)

Fantastic framing and lighting. What a difficult shot to take and you pulled it off beautifully.

I like so much in this photo, but my favorite part is the juxtaposition of the old the chappel walls and vaults with the modern stained glass.

Like JimF, my first thought was about the window. It seems so anachronistic. Can't decide whether I like it or not but it sure makes you stop and think. And maybe that's the whole purpose...

Great capture. Beautiful photo.

Also like how the blue and white in the votives draws your eyes back and forth to the window.

Candles, sunlight, glass. Your work is continually amazing.

This is beautiful. The old and the new. Reminds me of my childhood going to the cathedral every Sunday and lighting candles. I didn't like church then but your picture makes me want to sit a bit and contemplate.
Well done.

Stunning Image. Loved the composition and the way all the elements are placed inside the frame.
