History:
This is a Canterbury Cross. It's history is well documented, but for my part here it is. I am a Canterbury, that's my father's family. The two younger brothers of a dukedom left Kent in the 1700s when their older brother inherited everything. So this cross has always been special to us. I tend to use to mark my territory. I wear one, my husband wears one, it's even the logo on our new business. This particular one was made for me, with the initials of my loved ones on the edges of the center square.

Nicely cropped image - I like the lighting and colors of the Cross. I think the area where this photo needs some work is on sharpness. I tried some USM (125,0.3,0) 2x to give it a little more bite. I think it would have scored better.
