 Inside the Sedlec ossuary, near(ish) Prague.
Loved the juxtaposition of the plastic-y cherub and the macabre human remains.

Wish it were sharper; I was shooting handheld at very low shutterspeeds.

Hope exposure is alright - still havent got used to my laptops brightness, won't have a chance to check it on a CRT until after voting starts...

Levels, curves, hue/sat for each colour channel, sharpen, add a little grain (it was already pretty grainy from high ISO but just wanted to make sure)

post-challenge: Oh well, live and learn. At least I managed to get religious imagery AND countless human skulls into a challenge entry.Not many people can boast that :P

In Prague, I believe. I saw a photo of this chapel recently. Quite astonishing.
