I didn't like how this shot came out in the first place, but after some postprocessing i found it quite okay. I finally found it worth uploading after flipping it upside down and cropping away the all-white sky (in the lower part of the photo). The sky in the reflection was much more texturized than the actual sky.

Crucifix
Made by martinstelbrink
This 15th century crucifix is made completely from one big block of stone (cross and corpus). It shows Jesus in the immediate moment of his death. One of the most touching pieces of medieval art that I have ever seen.
