This is the original image, as it was shot with available light on the super-macro setting. Below is the same image after cropping:

Next I applied the same two filters used on the cattle images, first "glowing edges," then "crosshatching."

Continuing the same sequence of alterations used on the cattle images I lowered the color saturation.

Finally, going beyond the cattle image alteration sequence, I took out all the color for a black-and-white image.

And now that I look, I think I could have done the cropping better, but this gives the general idea.
