A few that I love are:

- 森 (forest) not only looks like a forest, but is a bunch of 木 (tree/wood).

- 众 is a crowd of people, and 人 is person.

- 火 is fire, and 焱 is flame or extremely hot.

- 石 is stone, and 磊 is many stones or great pile of rock.

- 水 is water, 淼 describes a larger body of water.
