These aren't the exact same frame at all. They are photoes of the same thing, that's certainly true, but the photoes are quite different. Risman's photo is way more dramatic and moving with all that contrast, bright, defined colours, and dark shadows. Gendron's instead looks quite composed, with pastel colours and less distinguishing details, and has more of a quiet grandeur to it. They'd hardly pick the same photo from their bursts if it was not for the big wave that struck the lighthouse. Artistic expression includes the selection of the scene, but also more. It's in the way the cameras were set up, the photoes were post-processed, the way accents were decided, and how the photoes are perceived now that we are seeing them.
