I think you did a great job. I would been interested in the details of how you "processed" the shot. Maybe a before and after

Super job, I really like this. Any chance you would share how your action is done?

Add me to the list. Really nice job, like to know how you did it.

I like it, too. Nice job.

I like it. It has a feel like the artwork that is typically contained in military training manuals.

I think it's brilliant...care to share your technique & workflow?

Ok, I started with this image:


This happens to be a 3 image composite HDR but any picture will work for this. I then ran Dave's Sketch action on it. This action can be found here.
After running the sketch action and extracting, the image will look like this:


All i did after that was play around with some of the tone and eposure settings in Photoshop CS4 to my liking. Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated. Hopefully I fully explained my process, if not, let me know and will try to explain more in depth if necessary.
