Now that IS an interesting effect! (Nice image BTW) Do you know, some people (like me) would spend hours & hours and use a multitude of filters to get the effect you've got here! LOL! That really is quite an amazing alien-plant-thing you've photographed though...what is it?

Happy you like the effect! I did indeed discover it by accident, and have been playing with it some. Basic idea is start with any image, (this is a Lotus flower from Chicago Botanical Garden water plants area). Save it as low quality jpeg. Then Sharpen several (5, 6?) times in Photoshop to bring out the funky texture. From here, can try several different things. [gif compression also does interesting things...]

Oh, wow, this is a really cool effect! That's a real flower? Geez, I've got to hit the Botanical Gardens here come spring!

Neat. I've really got to experiment more. What's that cone sprinkler thing in the middle of the flower. You mean it always looks like that!? Bsteph
