This one was more complicate: Effects / Distort - Polar Inversion... 
 Mick placed on a separate layer in front of it, the rest transparent. Background also semi-transparent and color tint changed for better contrast.
 Render some and compare...

I like this one too! Amazing how fast a modern computer calculates this!
 The old-fashioned way, it would take a full week of crafting! Now: WOW! Two seconds!
 Effects / Distort - Tile Reflection: Rotation 0, Height 44.38
