The photographer approaches the stone with the engraved inscription, using an upward angle to highlight the text and the rock's texture. Employing a centered composition, the inscription "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man" is placed at the center of the frame. The stone occupies most of the image, with a small portion of the blue sky in the upper right corner adding depth to the composition.
