Wow! cool! I just start wondering exactly how he did it. Must have been with several photos taken in series and then spliced together with the still top half. But yeah, it's kinda disturbing on the eyes.
No, I think it's one photograph with a mirror image of that photograph upside-down on the bottom and some kind of effect (out of my realm of knowledge) which makes the bottom mirror image ripple.
Yes. The Java language has the ability to take images and to do "software" things with them, the image there is a Java Applet. For the bottom part of the image it's simulating a wave and figuring out where in the main static image the reflection would go to for each pixel "in the water" (or doing some approximation to that calculation that's close enough for the purpose.)
I don't find the effect very satisfying, particularly with this picture, where it doesn't work. The waves are too fast, etc. But I'm just being a bitch. ;)
