WebFX: About Even Water Ripples

About Even Water Ripples: The original image is copied into a new image by drawing concentric circles very close to each other. The circles drawn into the new image are simply pixels copied from the original image. Based on the sine of the radius of each circle, the pixels are not only shaded (to give a 3D appearance), but the intensity of the sine wave determines how off-center the copied pixels should be (which causes the distortion)

Tips: Any image will do! Square ones are the best, though.

Inspiration: Simple - water!

Levels: The higher the level, the sharper the distortion and more lightened and darkened the pixels are.
