Day 200 of 366 - Parish Church of St Nicholas!

Today's image was taken this morning in the town of Kenilworth. It is a view of St Nicholas Church as seen from inside of Abbey Fields park. This Grade I listed Church dates back to the 13th Century. The Tower and the Nave were added sometime between 1320 and 1400. The were quite a few additions and alterations to both the inside and outside of the church during the 19th and 20th centuries. Due to this Parish Church being on the border of Kenilworth castle it has had have plenty of very notable worshippers. The most famous probably being Queen Elizabeth I, during her visits to Kenilworth when the castle when was owned by Robert Dudley, one of the Queen's favourite courtiers.

The photo was taken using the Cortex Camera app on my iPhone 6.

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I cropped and straightened the image then added the Tonal Contrast filter. I then applied some selective brightness, contrast and saturation to the shadowed area on the right side of the church. I then boosted the vibrance and saturation to the whole image. Next I used the app Handy Photo to clone away the two signs from outside the front of the church, plus the street light from the edge of the gateway in the centre of the image. I then used the app Brushstroke to apply the Simple S2 paint preset. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Warm preset, the Vibrant FX, a Small dark Vignette. I then added the Canvas Texture and the Leather frame.
