Do you think this is just too ordinary to enter into #67? This is an older picture but I could easily update it in about 30 minutes since the church is less than 10 minutes away on foot.

    Go over to the church and shoot the windows from different perspectives. I'm sure that a shot will jump out at you and say "This is it".

    It's important to enter the challenges with an entry that satisfies you and your quest to express something photographically. You will only please some of the people some of the time.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    I love pictures of stained glass, too...the sharp, vibrant colors. I have lots of them. This is a wonderful photo of the window, but I'm afraid it's just all too familiar.

    It seems there are so many stories in the picture. I like it.

    That was my feeling. As an illustration for a book about that church it would be odd to leave it out. But as a stand alone image, just too familar, as you say.

    I'm not feeling well this week (cold) so I'm not sure that I can find inspiration with 2 days to go. :)

    I think the window could work, but you need to get a different angle or perspective on it - an unusual way of looking at it.
