I like it. I noticed that the oval brushes were almost always of lower quality (in the sense of doing a worse job recreating the original). I think it's because you only take axis-aligned ellipses and not arbitrarily rotated ones, which might be fun to try too.

Actually ellipses perform pretty well. I've analyzed this a good bit... http://i.imgur.com/82Aksg0.png (lower is better, this shows average score over 100 different input images)
