The Serpent and the Cross
Inside the exquisite little church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Venice. The church is clad, inside and out, with beautiful, varied marble panels. As you enter, you're under the organ loft; the square stone columns supporting the loft have delicate carvings on them. I spotted the little coiled snake in the foliage, and decided to frame the column wide-angle, with a shallow DOF showing the marble walls and a crucifix in the background.
