Default Wide Angle Lens tips?

I feel pretty comfortable composing and shooting at normal focal lengths. I seem to just naturally position myself and don't normally need to move around too much to compose my shot.

I recently got a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 and am finding this isn't the case any longer. I am constantly having to reposition myself to compose all that extra space.

Any tips for composing with a wide angle lens?

Here is a shot I took earlier today at the Ballard Locks in Seattle,WA. I like how this shot turned out, but it was a struggle to get in a reasonable position.
