Four different viewpoints.

This is the same stretch of coast shot from four different viewpoints, where each viewpoint creates a slightly different effect.

Great set. It was like a master class in cropping. Thanks for sharing them.

These are wonderful R.G. What a beautiful spot. What does it look like from the other direction? Thanks

Thank you Joe. It's four different photos taken from four different viewpoints. I was initially shooting with the intention of keeping the best one, but I realised they were all different and worth keeping in their own way.

Thank you Tom. Looking the other way it's the same sort of thing but without the compositional elements that drew me to those particular views. I like the eye-channeling and attention-attracting effect of the rocks in the sea, plus the literal channel in the last two. The vertical rock in the last three was an added bonus.

Thank you Lynn. Sometimes with a good view it's hard to go wrong.

An excellent study in story telling 
Thanks R.G.!
I wanted to comment on joehel2's use of the word "cropping." A quick glance suggests that #2 and #3 could be a crop of #4, but when you look closer, you can see why that couldn't be.
I've noticed that some folks are using the word crop when referring to framing or composing. I say crop to only mean what's done after-the-fact (most commonly in the photo editor on the computer). It's a different mindset and result IMO, as you've demonstrated here.

Thank you Linda. If you trace the term "crop" back to its roots it referred to literally cutting a photo to size. I agree that it should refer exclusively to shaping an image. I took the above four photos in the order they're shown and there was walking involved between each one.

Thanks for posting these demonstrations of the effects gained from perspective and composition, R.G.

You're welcome, Mike. I just saw it as interesting and didn't plan for it to be informative but I'm glad it turned out that way.
