Yeah, I do see thirds here. Sort of. Some sort of PS filter? I like these type shots but somehow the border just ruins it for me. If it were a tear sheet and there was ads and/or text on the sides I somehow think it would then be better.

Thanks, I'll figure out what to do with the border. It's a GIMP filter, under Distort, called Polar Coordinates. I'm pretty sure PS has a similar effect. Fireworks doesnt have it though.
