Day 318 of 366 - Remembrance Sunday!

The image for today was taken this morning in the Cathedral Quarter of Coventry City centre. The view which was taken in the Ruined Cathedral of St Michael is looking towards the Altar in the Sanctuary area. On top of the Altar there is a replica of the cross made from charred roof timbers that were found in the rubble the day after the Cathedral was destroyed in the blitz during the Second World War. Today's service of remembrance ends here in the ruins with a combined English and German Choir as well as Clergy from both countries. I am so proud that my youngest Daughter has taken an active role in today's service, singing with the Coventry Cathedral Girls Choir.

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

First I used the app Snapseed to edit the photo. I Cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast filter. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance and Shadows, as well as decreasing the Highlights. I also added a little extra Structure and Sharpening to the picture. Next I used the app Stackables to apply the formula called Ancient Ruins. I then used DistressedFX to add the Stirred overlay and the Sentiment texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Stark FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then applied the Old Paper texture and the Leather frame.
