Day 141 of 365 - St Mary's Church!

Welcome to day 141 of 365 (Finished image after Editing)

The original photo was taken this afternoon in the Walsgrave area of Coventry. The image is of the Church of St Mary the Virgin. The original Church dates back to 1300 however there is no trace of the original Church visible. It is estimated that the Church was completely rebuilt during in the 13th or 14th century. There was also major restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries. One of the most important interior features of the Church is the early Font. This probably dates back to the early 12th century. Another fixture of special interest is the Medieval glass (approx 14th century) in the east window of the south aisle.

The Church is classed as a Grade II* listed building. The building is number 14 on my list of 24 (Grade II*) Listed buildings in Coventry that I hope to photograph.

As always the shot was taken with my iPhone 5. The photo was taken using the camera App Huemore for iPhone. The original image can be found here: Unedited original Image.

First of all I used the app PhotoToaster to edit the image. The edits were made by straightening the photo then applying the Warm filter, Vibrant FX, a medium white Vignette, the Canvas texture and the Torn Canvas frame to the image. Finally I used the App Distressed FX to add the birds and extra texture to the image using the Birds Soulmate overlay and the Charm Texture.
