Lying just off Winchelsea Beach and exposed only at low tide are the petrified remains of a forest. We struck lucky one grey morning: it is quite astonishing to look at though the tones need boosting a bit to bring out the textures. I confined myself to a few details, which under the prevalent lighting seemed the obvious approach.
Thanks to VivienO for alerting us to this fascinating natural wonder.
And thanks to John (lifesnapper) for honouring yesterday's upload with his U.A.

What wonderful rich colours and textures Bill - all three well composed as ever 
Helen
Hi Bill,
I really like the composition in both V1 & V2 - indeed these are my preferred shots. However, I always think that these shots - where texture can play an important part in the composition - maximising the dof to ensure front to back sharpness is preferable. V3 does this (likely as you've pulled back a little to get the wider perspective). I wonder if this contributes to the preferences for this version from those commenting so far?
All the best,
A.
Excellent captures loads of detail great colours, V3 is my fav. but only just.
John
I keep going back to V1 and seeing the subtle lines of wood with the little pebbles in the tiny holes. Nature working her magic as ever in an ever changing canvas lasting for millions of years.
I've just discovered the work of ViveneO and enjoying what she saw too Bill.

v1 for me, Bill, less cluttered and a strong diagonal.
Dave
It's amazing what you can see if you bother to look down instead of in front of you all the time. Lovely patterns and textures here, Bill, a super set 
Trev
V1 is a Gem of a picture Bill, you certainly are on a roll here.
John
Tremendous colours and textures in these seaside abstracts
