This is a leaded stained glass window on a local church. This window comes very low to the ground and I was able to put the camera right on the glass for the shot. I managed to get decent depth of field at F8 and I could rest the camera on the glass for the 1/80" exposure...

Thanks for the comments on this photo... I chose to do this photo in black and white because the concrete molding in and around the window had a rather ugly green tint due to the lighting and the trees. I ruined this photo by naming it 'Stained Class' which indicates the presence of color... I should have chosen a more appropriate name...
First Impressions- would have liked to have seen this image symmetrical, or even in colour. BUT You've achieved a more intersting shot with the black and white giving it a gothic feel.
Nice photo. I cant help but wonder if it would have been better in color. Maybe changed the composition a bit by bringing the top of the windows down into the image a bit more. Still, very nice work.
Great composition. Really like how it is somewhat off center. Great job lining up the horizontal. My only question, if this is stained glass why did you decide to go black and white? Don't get me wrong, I love the shot.
Why "class"? I like this photo a lot. The fact that the line that starts in the lower right corner and goes up to exactly the center at the top seems well thought out. I could wish that that corner was more in focus...don't know if it was an option to use a smaller aperture or not.
Very nice B/W tone, and well sharp. The leading lines do draw the eye away from the nice reflections and up to the less-interesting top of the frame. Maybe a couple of steps further back would have let the glass up top show a little better. Just an idea. Nice work.
Definitely fits the contest. Nice texture Would have loved to see this in color before you converted it. Is that a smudge on the glass??? Just kidding, very nice shot!
If you have a picture of this in color, I hope you post it. I like b&w but stained glass is usually so colorful, I might like that better. - this is a great photo though!
What a great angle ! Black and white does this justice. The glass has a wonderful texture effect. I feel the height of this window. VERY nice indeed, from the angle to the subject matter.
Gorgeous! This photo has lots to look at - bold lines, contrasting textures, interesting patterns in the windows, distorted reflections. The stone is very tactile, and the composition is awe-inspiring (as all such windows are designed to be). The lighting seems just right.
