The latter is meant to be sarcastic. I honestly didn't notice how the cloud shapes matched the shore shapes. I was more interested in getting the sun glare off the clouds as well as putting the submerged tree into context with the trees on the right.

The shape of the clouds and the bird that I caught in transit were happy accidents.

(In general, I try to keep my natural tendencies towards sarcasm from disparaging others, as it's hard enough to communicate via text alone. A good rule of thumb is to assume that I did not intend to be mean and ask for clarification if I come across that way (as you did).)
