Photographs of mountains are computationally altered to flatten the mountain’s elevations, while an ocean horizon is altered to mimic the mountain’s original topography.
Some before and after test images:

I don’t think I get it. But it looks cool.
i like the way it can look like sea water/foam
depending the way you look at it
it would be nice to see more of the reasoning behind the images/concept. I find the altered ocean horizon resembles a rock cross section more so then a Mountain scape. I think your onto something
Very nice. I can imagine how the Earth would look like if it’s all altered.
i, i´m alejo from Argentina…
Awesomehow, can i know how do you get this idea? i know it´s too much to ask, but, never in a million years i could shape the mountains in my mind to twisted into the ocean… well… maybe it´s cuz i´m not an artist, but would like to know
(sorry my english)
Alejo: Explaining how I came up with any of my ideas is difficult at best, as they seem to pop into my head seemingly from nowhere, but I do remember that the impetus for this specific project was looking at a thumbnail image. I thought it showed a flattened mountain, but when I looked at the full-size it was just a typical flat landscape photo. And so I set to making what I believed I had seen in the thumbnail.
