Church Window in Memory of David Thomas Tirterchgryno
« on: Monday 28 August 17 17:21 BST (UK) »
Hello
I took this photo recently and disappointed with the result.  Can someone please work your magic and make this a better photo; I'm no expert but I was thinking something like darkening the surrounding wall so that the coloured part of the window stands out.
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.

I've tried to brighten the colours a bit, don't know if it's any better

Here's my attempt:
- less wall (so the window is relatively larger in the photo)
- a lighter (rather than darker) wall that makes the darker colours of the window stand out; the wall just serves as a frame for the window
- lightened the darker colours in the window to bring out more colour
- darkened the bright faces to show more details
- added a bit more contrast overall
