I like the idea of using the people for scale, to show how Grand the Grand Canyon is.
I also like the way the edge of the cliff in the foreground more or less bisects the image diagonally - an interesting composition.
I wonder if maybe your camera had a problem with the exposure a bit. It seems to me that either the front cliff is too white, or the wall on the other side is underexposed. It's almost as if the camera "averaged out" the scene, with the result that neither major feature is really exposed most effectively. Not explaining this particularly well, but hopefully you get what I mean.
I might have liked seeing farther down into the gorge, for more of a feeling of how deep it is, but it might be that from your vantage point it wasn't possible, or maybe you'd have lost the people which perhaps you felt were necessary to tell your story.
All in all, not a bad photo at all!
cheers, frank
