Day 246 of 366 - Church of St James the Great!

Today's image was taken in the Hamlet of Old Milverton, just outside of Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The view is of the parish Church of St James the Great. This version of the Church was rebuilt between 1879-80 although it is thought that there was a small church on the site dating back to the 13th century. There is a stained glass window and family vault in the church that honours Dr Henry Jephson. He was a prominent local physician, famed for promoting the health benefits of Leamington's mineral springs to a wider audience. He was therefore very instrumental in the development of Leamington as a Spa Town.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I increased the shadow area of the church to help bring out a little more detail in it. I also boosted the Contrast and Saturation. Next I used the app SkyLab to apply the small wispy cloud above the church, I also placed a few birds in the sky. After this I used the app Brushstroke to apply the Oil 04 painterly preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Tone preset and the Vibrant FX. I then added the Canvas Texture and the Burlap frame.
