I have to agree about the angle Gareth but I tried to get a better view of the reflections cast on the wall beside the window. Here is a straight on shot which shows the window but not the reflections to better effect.

Nice colours here, although I agree that the composition will be tricky whatever angle you shoot from.
Funny thing, every time I see one of your stained glass photos I spend ages looking for your avatar in it

Great detail in these. I appreciate stained glass window shots a lot now having had a go recently and finding it very difficult. I like the first one, with the prominent light patterns. I don't mind the angle as it comes with the territory.

I just love shots like this. Very well done. The second one and the reflections in it work very well for me.
Just one thing if I may. Is the second one clipped at the top? It looks cut off but it may be the window.
Please do not get me wrong! This is not a criticism, just a question!

Here he is Tim. Brother Ranolf, stained in glass at Chester Cathedral. Born in the 1290s and died in the 1360s. A bit before my time.

That explains it.
Like I say, lovely shoots. Really like them.
Hope I can one day produce the same but moving about is not an option at the moment.
