Digicat told me of a litho effect, so I thought I'd give it a go, but I think I've lost my way a little as it looks nothing like her picture of the wall. 
Any way I thought you might like to see something taken with my digital Hasselblad.
I'd really like your views on this effect I've done. Critique & advice particularly!
It's Hadrians Wall looking west at Walltown, 1/25 sec, f16.

I like it tho I didn't saturate on one of the steps as much as they recommended - it's just a case of playing with the settings.
thanks for the link 
But don't forget on my original piccie it had just poured down with rain and the rocks were wet and shiny and dark which has made a lot of difference.
have you played around with contrasts after toning it or curves
@ Matt - LOL if only I had eyes to see... yep it's a sheep & yep 2 clone.
@ Digi - you could have *told me* about the rain, I'm sure that was the deciding factor 
Yes, I messed about with contrast in the RAW as well as a bit after processing. I was really cheesed that I didn't pick out the red jackets of the children. Might do that as a mod.
Thanks for the tip, I like it. Not sure if I went OTT with it though.
Cheers, Goggz
@ Fran - don't get it into your head I am any more advanced than you m'dear! It ain't true.
@ Tandberg - digital hassleblad - the reference was actually to the square crop
S'OK bout not liking the effect, I'll let you off this time...
@ Tel* or anyone with the answer - any ideas what litho should look like?
Well, it looks far too choco to me, I should have tried to make it a bit more B&W with a slight tone really.
Thanks again! CHeers, Goggz
