Funny. I didn't know how you got the effect, so I submitted it for validation. But I loved it, and voted it an 8.
Thanks for mentioning the multifaceted lens. Us non-DLSR folks just don't know what kinds of wild and crazy lenses are out there.
Here's the set-up for this shot.
Note that this is a 50-cent kid's multi-faceted lens (often sold as a "kaleidoscope") hand-held in front of the lens of my Olympus D490 P&S camera, not a specialty lens, and my Olympus is about as non-dSLR as it gets these days!
