No visible difference, James. Great picture and POV. Whar a wonderful job, to restore stained glass windows or their surrounds.

V2 is very slightly lighter, the difference is only really noticeable in the stonework top left and in the workman's head and back - and even there it's very subtle; but I definitely prefer V1, it has that tiny bit more depth. Good shot either way, in tricky conditions (and not just the light!).

The highlights in the stained glass windows are blown out. Perhaps, if you were to have taken the photogaph before he had cleaned the windows, the highlights would have retained some dirty details. However, that said, the main subject is the craftsman; I don't know how you could have photographed him without overexposing the windows. HDR, perhaps?
To me, the focus on the craftman's head looks a little soft. But then my bespectacled eyes are more than fifty years old. And my laptop is only slightly younger. Maybe, a little sharpening?
I like the composition of the photograph. It is clear who the main subject is; my attention is drawn straight to him, expecially as he has been labelled 'St Blaise'. The relationship between the main subject and his setting is also clear; he is pointing to it with his tool. The setting also points back to the main subject; the curves of the arch above the window lead back to St Blaise.
PS: Not surprisingly, I can see no difference between the two versions.

Many thanks everyone for your very helpful c+c.

I take your point here Peter and yes you are right about the focus. Unfortunately with my camera I cannot choose what it wants to focus on - or if I can I haven't found out how yet.
