Taken at St John's Cathedral brisbane. It's an amazing building, and a joy to photograph. This is the most recent, and probably the last cathedral to be built in the traditional style, and is the only completely stone-vaulted ceiling in the southern hemisphere.
This is the altar of one of the side-chapels. The stained glass windows are blown, but there's little I could do about that (OK, yes, I could have waited for late afternoon/dusk, but I couldn't stick around that long.) The ceiling is flash lit, gelled tungsten, but not quite as orange as the existing lighting. However, I like the contrasted colours. If I shot it again, I'd only half CTO the flash.
Editing was a slight straighten, boost the blues and yellows, crop, resize, USM and border.

I like that you have used the height here. Interiors like this are difficult to capture well and the windows have suffered here but I like the shadows ont eh stonework.
Some people may have no idea how difficult this sort of shot can be, capturing the dark interior without blowing out details in the stained glass too much. I might call this ever so slightly overexposed, just my preference though.
