I like the way you have positioned these three windows, but I wish the windows were just a tad darker so they don't look as washed out. I have this problem too every time I try to shoot stained glass windows. The only way I've found to get the results I like is to shoot two shots and combine the appropriate areas in post. I suppose HDR can also work, but I'm not very accomplished at that.
I agree that the window should have more detail. When I shoot SG Windows (with film) I expose for the darkest part of the window with a spot meter. Also PS could possibly bring out more detail. using the level and curves tools.

Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.
I like your comp here Greg. Good symetry. It looks to be very well exposed. . .if anything i would reduce exposure a stop to bring some more inside mood and let the windows glow more. i'm sure the print will show adequate detail and sharpness.
