Actually, this reminded me of photos I've seen following the Tunguska event in Russia in 1908--so I have an active imagination! lol. D90, thanks for looking and any comments/critiques.

Looks like tidal wrack.

Very nice abstract Bill. My only concern is that it appears a bit OOF in the LRC. Other than that minor nit, this is really sweet.

The Tunguska event was also my first thought, Bill. Very nicely done. My only suggestion would be a bit more DOF in the LRC. Just a thought.

Great abstract. The shaft of light in the middle is a nice touch

Cool find! Looks like it could be a log jam. I like the pattern created by the density of tweegs here.

I noticed the dof too. All I can offer if you don't focus stack(I don't either) is to get the camera/focus plane as parallel to the subject as possible. In this case the camera pointing straight down. Then you have to play around with different points of focus to see what works best.
