If bad things happen, you sometimes have to wait for a long time until new patterns of beauty emerge. Like this one, captured in Sant'Andrea della Valle. This shot is somewhat imbalanced, because the middle of the apse is not centered. Next time I'll do better :-)
Epic!

@claude: Merci beaucoup, Monsieur! :-)
all your ceiling shots have great light and detail. You should try merging two or more shots.

@JoeB: I would have done this, but there were only two of my shots that were good enough. Unfortunately both from the same perspective. This was a lack of experience, I'd do it differently, today.
I know I would have a hard time trying to capture all the intricate details, colors, shapes, and textures. There's so much and I'd be kicking myself too if I didn't get it right! I wonder if JoeB is referring to a HDR (high dynamic range) shot because it could make a difference. I'm looking forward to your next attempt! =D

@Disoriented: Thank you :-) As I've written in response to JoeB's comment, there are just two shots that were suitable for publishing, due to my then poor experience. HDR definitely would make a difference, but I'm a quite lazy photographer and there are others (especially at aminus3) who can do that better than me :-)
Now where's my catalogue...
