Day 193 of 365 - St Catherine's Well!

Welcome to day 193 of 365 (Finished image after Editing)

The original photo was taken in the built up residential area of Coundon in Coventry. It is an image of St Catherine's Well. This Grade II listed structure stands (fenced off and inaccessible) between a couple of houses. This is also near to the Alvis Retail park of Electrical stores, Hardware Superstore and a Large Supermarket. Not a lot is really known about this structure. It is said that this Red Sandstone building dates back to the early 15th Century. It is also said that this Well was once used to supply water to the nearby area of Spon End. It is without doubt the oldest surviving structure in Coundon.

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 Dynamic Light to edit the image. This was done by applying the Blue Tint preset to help brighten the Structure and the trees a little. I then used the app ShockMyPic to apply a little artistic effect to the image. After that I used Distressed FX to add some extra texture to the image using the Cole overlay and the Lade Texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to apply a soft dark Vignette, the Canvas texture and add the Shadow frame.

Sorry this image for Saturday is late being posted. My phone ran out of charge and my one and only charger was at work. This is one of the problems of using an iPhone solely to take the picture and also to edit it :)
