I am a big fan of getting close to things to enlarge them and to give them importance in the scene. The object you get close to does not have to be large and it does not always take much to make a decent image using this technique. When on a scene I often just walk around looking for interesting objects to use. In this particular case I found a sea plant. I shot into the sun so that the sea plant will be back lit which brings out its color.

Also pay attention to the composition. The sea plant is compositionally stong. The bright sunlight on the top left is also strong. Both of these objects were frames in such a way to offset each others and to create balance. The sea plant introduces some color on the bottom section of the image. Speaking of color, I love images where there are warm colors and cold colors in the same image. This sky really creates a nice mood in my mind.

          In Luminar (software) you can boost both warm and cold cold colors at the same time. Don't be afraid to make your warms a bit warmer and your colds a bit colder. With modern camera sensors you can often shoot into the sun without clipping the image (never look into the sun).

          So go ahead, don't just shoot, first walk around and see what you can find to add interest. Once found think about your composition. Most of all, go right up to it. Put a wide angle lens on. Shooting in this way makes your foreground object look bigger compared to the background. It gives the image interest and adds prominence to the foreground.
