The 'if George Lucas did stained glass windows' perspective doesn't really work for me. Because of the angle, most of the detail from the windows are so foreshortened that the figures are hard to make out. If you had softened the focus to make this look more abstract I think that I would have liked it better. Shooting something in the foreground (a praying nun, statue, crucifix, etc.) and letting the windows serve as the pallet for the resultant bokeh might have worked even better, as you'd both have a clear subject and still make good use of the colored glass.
This shot is a little to dark IMO to partay joy. I invision joy as a bright and vibrant feeling. I don't get a feeling of joy from this shot. Intigue, curiosity, awe, but not joy. Good photo and fits the challenge But I feel it dosn't fit the title.
Although I don’t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don’t leave a comment.
Don’t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.
In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don’t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that’s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.
