Not an entry, as its ages old, but just to kick things off - what me and quite a few others would probably consider the most beautiful of all war machines, though its beauty in the same way that a shark can be beautiful as long as its not sneaking up on your surfboard:

Well, I like birds and it has a prominent eye, not to mention fluffy ears.
I don't generally do these one-click filters, but was messing about with ipad photo apps trying to find one thats actually useful - ie has a good method of masking. I ended mucking about with Snapseed which is pretty basic but at least means it runs acceptably. No joy with masking, but I quite like how this turned out after 10 minutes.

Try FilterStorm, it's fantastic, as is the Photoshop iPad App.
