I think photographer intended to tell us how great the mother of nature is and how hard human being challenges by dangling & risking themselves. Neither land or rocks on the bottom of the picture takes my breath away. I like the way Bill made a subject impressive by contrasting the colorful Grand Canyon and black parts on top including climber. That gives Grand Canyon looks smaller than the climber ironically.

the canyon looks amazing from that point of view. The way the climber is shaded like that with the canyon in front of him, its superb.
