What has happened to the clarity and detail in your version?
Not sure, Nigel, I was just going for the overall look. I suppose it could be that the details have been smudged as a result of attempting the perspective correction and resizing of such a small image file?

I did think that the original was too bright and saturated, particularly the yellow, so I am encouraged by John's edit - I had a go at the same one last night and produced the same kind of tones, although mine was a little brighter.

Hope you don't mind, Nigel, but I also had a go at correcting the distortion, as I saw it:

(I don't understand this comment.)

I like the strong colours, but on my screen the #1 looks a bit dark for a bright sunny day and compared with the other two. Probably a matter of personal taste, but I would want to lift some of the details that the K5 has recorded in the shadow areas of #1 and also, except for the sky, to increase its overall brightness slightly.

Some of these are inevitably a bit flaky, so just ignore any corrosive comments.

Good images with nice light and colour - top for me is "Ring".

Beautiful colours and textures
I agree. I like both photos - well seen and well taken, Stephen.

It might be just my imagination, but the K-5 autofocus seems much better to me since updating to the latest firmware (1.14).

Wonderful shots of the stained glass. For me the art and design in #3 seems out of place in such a historical building. The beautiful Rose Window, assuming that it is the one also shown in the last photo, must be huge.

Really like #1 and #2 - great in composition and wonderful dramatic sky.

There is a yellow cast that detracts from the colour photos for me. (It also affects the second B&W, but that might be an intended tint.) As presented, the B&Ws are better, but I would like the colour photos, if the yellow was reduced, e.g.
