Anyone into digitally altered photos, I put this fun site together to show some of my photos that I have played with. http://dougbain.wix.com/architestural-g

Doug. 

The images on Doug's site have a timeless and artistic quality, which is very pleasing. 

I have tried this effect myself, and the technique certainly works well for architectural shots, where there is plenty of edge detail. I haven't submitted any of my own converted images to PoE because I didn't think they fitted the acceptance criteria. Maybe now is a good time to clarify whether 'artistically' altered images are accepted. I was under the impression that they were not.

Thanks for comments everyone, I am currently traveling through & around the Canadian Rockies so not checking things as much as usual.
