Day 266 of 366 - Old Bablake School!

Today's image was taken late this afternoon in the City Centre of Coventry. The view is of the original Bablake School. The Grade I listed 14th century building was originally constructed to house priests from the adjacent St John the Baptist Church. As with most of the buildings in this area, the priests quarters were built as a result of the land being donated by Queen Isabella. The property was rebuilt in 1560 and at that time it was remodelled as a Boys School. It remained as a fully functioning School until the 1890's. After this time the newer much larger Bablake School was built about a mile away.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image and changed the perspective of the building. I also applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then decreased the Highlights and shadows a little and boosted the Saturation, Warmth, Contrast and Ambiance. Next I used the app Painteresque to apply the Painteresque 2 painterly preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Tuneup preset, the Vibrant FX and the Large Dark Vignette. I then applied the Antiqued texture and the Charcoal frame.
