Both of these images are examples of seascape, one of which is a photograph and the other which is a painting. The expressive possibilities in the painting are endless. A painter can look at a landscape and pick and choose what will enhance their work or eliminate what could take away from the main subject. In this case, the painter could choose to add another rock to balance the painting, or add a break in the waves if they really wanted to. In any type of photography, the photographer has to express themselves by carefully choosing a point of view that will capture only what they want to see in the image. Photographers cannot eliminate specific objects out of the frame unless they choose a different vantage point, unlike how painters can literally create anything thing they want.
