    I disagree. You need to invest time is all... and simply NOT take the same shots everyone else is...you can see what they are taking.... okay take the same trophy shot or 2...but then stop...
    Look around..... Invest 60-90 minutes...
    ... mix up your angles is a simple way...look for juxtapositions...foreground midground background - close up on reflections....

    All that said even at the same angle as everyone....it's still a very cool scene...I like shots 2 and 4 here.
