Recognizing that the intricate cloud patterns offered more visual interest than the tranquil ocean, he composed the shot to emphasize the expansive sky. By utilizing a wide-angle lens and a tripod, he successfully balanced the playful energy of his subjects on the rocks with the sweeping scale of the environment.
