I went to the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul up the street for about half hour today and shot away. I sat in a pew and shot hand held. I shot this leaning back and over head. I like the patterning of the ceiling very much. The lighting was not good but this came out OK especially since the shutter speed was 1/4 second. I usually eschew the square crop but it worked very well for this as there was some light glare at the top right and a part of a blown out stained glass window on the top left.

Interesting shape, but seems a little oversharpened.
Not sure about the orientation. With your choice, it seems to go down.
I would prefer it rotated by 90 degrees to the right, as this way it would seem to go up-right, providing en elevation feel.
