Tried this out tonight, and I liked what it did. It works very well with portraits as well.

Well, that's thinking outside the square. Very interesting, nice conversion.

interesting, but I don't know what to say after that . . . maybe a little dark on bottom corners, losing detail. keep working on it.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at here...

Thanks, guys.

Seth, it's a baseball stadium processed in a way that makes the picture look cracked/broken. Nothing more.

Very nicely done. Two things though:

1. Did you use an action or filter set for this?
2. I'd like to see a portrait treatment.

No action or filter. A friend of a friend uses this technique, and I tried to duplicate it (I did not have instructions in the least from him). I just pretty much tinkered with CS3's blending and layers for a few hours until I got what I thought was a desirable image. It was like a treasure hunt, and I was honestly very proud of myself for figuring out how to do it, haha.

Here's a portrait using this effect (the mood of the portrait may not fit the effect, but you can get an idea of what it looks like) Also, this is an image that was uploaded to Facebook and then downloaded here at work so I can post it, so the quality is crud:
