Composition (content)
This is a subject that deserves to be centered and has symmetry as a strong point. Unfortunately it is not, but when I look at it a bit better I guess it would have meant that the Jezus in the window in the back would have been hidden from view by the Jezus in the foreground so I understand the decision to do it as it is. Now that I think a bit more about it, centering would also have made the cross obstruct the view on a part of the roof construction. I do think that it could have been cropped/framed a bit better to get a symmetry between the two upper corners. Nonetheless it is a good composition.
Background
Great background, all kind of textures in the same historic style. A historic background for a historic figure. And it is beautifully lit as well, kudos to the people who run the place.
It is busy, but it relates to the subject and is therefore not distracting. I wan't to look at both and it isn't bothering me.
In a way it shows the lifecycle of Jezus, because the construction of the roof depicts the bright Star that attracted the wise men from the east at his birth, while the cross shows his terrible end.
It also gives great depth to the place.
Camera Work (Technical)
Very good exposure and I can see from the technical details that it was pretty hard. F2.8, 1/40s and ISO800, I gues it was hand held?
For F2.8 the depth of field is enormous.
Good focus, very sharp.
Digital Processing (technical)
I have said all there is to be said, nothing to add.
My opinion
I really liked this shot and I am surprised that it is way down here in the votes. In my opinion the picture meets the challenge very well, because it has some blue in it (duh), but also because Jezus / church can be a big support for people who feel blue.
It is original and looks very good. Added to my favourites. |

| I think if the window were your main subject, I would like to see the entire window. however, it didn't say that the blue had to be the main subject, so I really can't complain about that. This is some very detailed structure, and you have captured it nicely. the focus and clarty are good, and you show us great detail. good luck in the challenge. |

| Unless you mean Jesus is blue 'cause he's dying for our sins, I don't see too much blue in here. |

| Sorry, but I just don't get the "blue" part. Is it the stained glass? (If so, it needs to be more prominent) It looks like jesus is missing an arm and the lower halves of his legs! 6 Swash |

| Beautiful shot. BUT one thing really bothers me about this. Christ appears to have only ONE arm and only Half of His legs. BOTH hands were pierced and His TWO feet were together and pierced also. This greatly disturbes me and ruins the picture for me. PTL |

Great detail!
Composition is almost good (balance between left and right).
The curve in the timber; barrel distortion? |

| Ok I am kind of lost here. First of all is He was not nailed in is hands. The hands are not able to hold the weight of the human body. He was nailed at the wrist between the Ulna and Radius bones. I know that is not your fault but who on earth stole his legs and right arm. |
