Sometimes when I need inspiration, I look at stock images. There are various random image generators online where you can see random stock photos.
The trick is to find a picture with a story. There are a lot of nice pictures online but a picture of a flower, for example, doesn’t have much of a story. Not that you can’t weave a story around a flower, of course, it’s just not in the picture per se.

Pictures with people are the best, especially if there is some action taking place. Think about who those people might be and what they are doing. What conflict might they be having when this picture was taken?
Of course, always make sure, if you are going to post stock photos, to only do that when allowed, or at least attribute them correctly.

You made me think of that classic Rod Stewart song…Every Picture Tells A Story.
I feel like this man rescued the woman (the romantic in me thinks it’s a girl) from falling overboard. My initial thought.
Pretty girl in your choice of graphics. 🙂
