Alright, I think I'll drop a thought on it.

EAdams has the positive side covered: the default preset does look nice, it reminds me of bricks located in sooty places. One more thing: your construction technique pretty good as well.

I overall think it's quite odd-ball. It's sometimes... convincing and other times totally off and weird. Like a lot of filters it produces extremely unexpected results which I believe produces not-so-useful results. I'd say you can force yourself to try using some of the outcomes, but I'd hold that questionable.

For example when I randomize your filter I get the result below. This is what I mean by "unexpected" where the results don't correspond to the original look of the preset and also the title "brick wall".

As a suggestion: try limiting your color palette or make a method where it's just not throwing itself all over the place. Also do restrict your controls, make sure that we get "bricks" as you describe.

I know that was rough on your filter but I hope you take this as an honest thought. If you need help constructing, please don't hesitate to ask.
