Day 284 of 366 - Just a Bundle of Pencils!

The image today was taken late this Morning during my break at work. The view is a close up shot of a bundle of pencils. As well a being my Photo and Edit of the day for my 365 project, the shot taken as a Macro is also my entry for Macro Mondays - PPEP (Pencils, Pens, Erasers and/or Paperclips).

The photo was taken using a Macro Lens attachment and the app Cortex Camera on my iPhone 6.

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image into a square and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then increased the Structure and Sharpness a little and boosted the Contrast and Shadows. After this I decreased the Highlights, Warmth and Ambiance. I finally added a vignette to the image. After this I used the app PicsArt to apply the Artistic Oil Painting FX preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Drama FX and a Medium dark vignette. I then applied the Stacked frame.
