Mate I was born up the road in Narberth.
Spent my childhood in and around Tendy, Carew, Manorbier, saundersfoot etc...
Remember going down saundersfoot hill on my skateboard. This has nothing at all to do with your
excellent image.
Really good exposure, nice and sharp and the tilt gives it that something extra. When shoting stained glass...definition and exposure are paramount and you seem to have nailed it here.

Good job mate

Thanks for the comment. I regularly go to all the places you mention. Surprised you could tear yourself away. I live in Carmarthen (someone has to). I find with church windows it's best to turn down metering about 1.5 clicks, or use spot metering, otherwise the glass areas are always burnt out. Tricky to get right.
