Variations on a Theme in Photography ... Good Subject? Take it More than One Way.
Variations on a theme are usually associated with musical scores or performances where the original is changed through the addition of notes, harmonies, rhythmic modifications, etc., while maintaining a recognition of the original.

Each of these were taken within roughly a half hour time frame ... and each gives a different sense of time, space and feeling.
Don't stop with just one shot of a potentially rich subject; keep shooting ... and even if you subsequently discard half or more of those shots, every winner you keep and display, is nonetheless ...
A winner.

Great shot for the theme of peaceful surroundings!

Show your best and toss the rest ... no one has to see any of your photos but the ones that satisfy you.
Keep 'em coming ... they will certainly encourage and inspire others.
No kidding---great shot tsula!

Great shots A Mac and tsula!
