I started participating in these post-processing competition with #47 in 2013. And now it is with great honour and pleasure that I can host this Jubilee Edition, #500!
If you ever have the opportunity, go and visit Krakow, Poland, a beautiful town with lots of history. Nearby there is also Auschwitz and the Wielicza Salt mine. Enough to keep You occupied photographically for 3-4 days.
Your subject will be a bracketed series of pictures taken in the St. Mary's Basilica, on the town central grand place. Perhaps not an easy subject, but You had ample opportunity to study, given the fact that this is #500.

- Each entrant is allowed two entries in the Challenge.
- At the close of the Challenge, the Challenge Master will select a Winner and Runners-up.
