Wow, really vivid pics. Fine examples and I'd have to nit pick about the slight widening at the bottom and OOF but that's if I had to.
Canterbury seems a bit garish and Newcastle more refined, somehow.
I really like them.
Did you hand hold?
And was it the 16-50mm?

Nice colours and the light seems very evenly balanced.

I've tried to take this sort of shot several times in the past, all seem to lack clarity.
These, on the other hand, are super, the clarity and framing/crop do them all justice.
Well done David.

Subject isn't really my thing but love the vivid colours and detail in the faces.

Thanks guys for the comments. Doug, The slight widening towards the bottom of the frame is because you have to point your camera upwards to get stained glass windows and there is only so much compensation you can do in PS without distorting the image even more. At least with my limited PS skills that is.
One of the secrets with this type of photography is to get bright sunlight back lighting the glass and to under expose by 1/3 or 2/3 of a stop so you don't blow the highlights.
The the second one from Newcastle Cathedral appealed to me - St Geordie slaying the dragon.

If I had to pick one, I'd make it the last of the series David - it has a 'borderless' look to it, being constrained least by the edges of the glass-work etc.

To answer your questions Doug: Yes, these were all handheld. I'm well known for my aversion to being weighed down by a tripod. If the light is good outside you can use a reasonably high shutter speed for this type of picture. The picture of the Chagal window in Canterbury Cathedral was taken on a K10 and a DA*16-50mm lens. For the windows in Newcastle Cathedral I used a K10 with DA*50-135mm lens.
