Do you have some non-filtered example output which is hard to filter?

As I wrote in another thread I currently work on a post processing 
filter. I'd like to test it on anime/cartoons as well.

Here is a first example:

I know there are still a few "bugs". I changes contrast and is still 
damn slow.
