It's an excellent record of this quite remarkable stained glass window, and as Isaac says, there is nothing to change. One problem with record photography is that a perfect record leaves very little room for artistic interpretation, and Joe has put his finger on that. As a photographer, you are faced with the choice of putting your stamp on the image with your interpretation or making a perfect, impersonal, record of the subject. Here you have chosen the latter and the near perfection achieved is indeed your stamp on the image. From personal experience I know that photographing stained glass windows is not as easy as it would appear. |

As soon as I saw this I thought it had to be Greek! The blue dome on the church is so typical of Greece and its islands. The waterline leading from the bottom right corner gives a nice entry to the image and it is indeed a good PJ image of the island. The three ladies are nicely placed and not too dominant, allowing the viewer to wander through the rest of the image to take in the detail. I think I would tweak up the contrast a little to add a bit more impact. I notice that the street lights are on, so maybe the image should be darkened overall just a little to indicate the onset of dusk. I do like the man standing some distance away from the three ladies, and in my mind I can imagine them talking about him! Isaac's flip does read better from a composition point of view, but it would then no longer be a PJ image.
I wonder if you met our good friends Dave & Sheila Coates who were on this trip too? |

The colour contrast is excellent with the blue of the sky complementing the deep yellow of the aspen foliage. I'm not very keen on the textured effect in the sky, and I feel that I would prefer about half the sky to be taken out. This would concentrate the attention on the detail in the aspens. I agree with Ian that this is the sort of image to be printed on a fine art paper. |

It's a great perspective on these buildings and works very well indeed. The placing of the lamp in the gap pointing up to the sky is just right. However, I am in the camp that wants to delete the crane. For me it adds a discordant note to an otherwise delightful image. I assume it was not possible at the taking stage to move in a little closer to hide the crane behind the globe of the lamp. |

A classic example of an artistic rendering of a scientific event. The long diagonal shows a scientific representation of the eclipse as it happened, and the short diagonal adds in the detailed changes during the period of totallity. It has been very well recorded and very artistically presented. |

I think this is a good crop of the original shot. I love the detail in the decaying paintwork, whilst the three red spheres behind the lifering add interest. The dead black background in the lower window space adds a graphic punch to the image. I like it, and it's a typical Joe picture. |
