"nose up" is one of my favourite POVs.
This church and its cupola really deserved this treatment, and the long description that will follow :)
If you want to se the "behind the scenes", there's a picture on
my Facebook page that shows it:

Some notes on the processing: for the tonemapping I used a new (for me, I knew it but I've never used it since now) trick to recover a fourth "fake" exposure (-4 EV) lowering the -2EV exposure value. This helped to recover extra-detail in the windows. Tone mapped file was processed with Nik Color Efex Pro to boost a bit the details. Final contrast adjustments made in Photoshop.
