Interesting.  That inspired me to give the Photoshop filter a run.  

Here is the original.  I have to say, I am pretty impressed.

Here is another one (it could stand to loose some blue in the lower left).  

If anyone has some they want me to do.  It's a very quick process (for me at least)

These look great, David and I were just talking yesterday about possibly doing this for a video project I am in the process of editing for the Classic Motorsports YouTube channel.
