Help! What Program Makes This Water Ripple/reflection Effect?

I just uploaded this floral picture I created a while ago, but I can figure out which art program I used to make this water ripple/reflection effect? Do any of you know which programs have the ability to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God bless!

Rose, although there are many ways to accomplish any effect, this one looks to me like Liquify, a filter in Photoshop.

You can adjust the intensity of the effect and the size of the brush, and you draw the cursor on the picture to hand-draw the ripply effect.

Flood by Flaming Pear does this. Not sure of any others

It certainly looks like Flood 2 from Flaming Pear - they never ask you to pay - a never-ending license! See the facebook group

Hmmmm....thank you all. I know I had downloaded a demo (or free copy?) of photoshop a couple of years ago on my old computer...I never heard of Flaming Pear, but you have now piqued my curiosity to check it out. Thanks everyone!

Wow, that Flaming Pear has some other great looking plugins to try too!

I was going to say that if you had Photoshop you could use the Sheer filter to do it. Or a displacement map would work. But maybe you can in Gimp (which I don't have because Avast tells me the download is virus infected.

Recently I used the Wave filter a couple of times to get a distorted broken reflection which worked if you don't look at it too closely
