I could say a sense of shame :-)

It will do as it is, thought provoking. Good.

well, originally it was a missing tightrope - but I have had it pointed out
to me (by the other peson who lives in my house) that the balance is all
wrong for someone teetering on a rope. I would argue for a very strong
updraft that has caught under the umbrella and is dragging him upwards...

I immediately thought: *parachute*. But updraft is also OK.
I like this scene!

You could add a just broken rope

Or he could be descending using the umbrella as a parachute, or just
appeared from elsewhere. Why are they two poles holding apart the cliff or
chasm? Why is there no background? Has he been transported to another
dimension? Thought provoking, I think. His posture needs a prop to anchor
him in reality. As it is the possibilities are boundless.

Wow, I like the light on the rocks vs. the background, and the rocks
themselves are very interesting.

both v. simple.
The lighting & background come from Jaime Vives Piquere's Lightsys macros
(http://www.ignorancia.org/en/index.php?page=Lightsys) plus a single
shadowless point light inside the umbrella.
The rocks are just isosurfaces:
 #declare F_bank=function{pigment{
   granite
   turbulence 0.5
   color_map { [0 rgb 1] [1 rgb 0] }
   scale <3,2,3>
   //rotate z*-20
   }
 }

 #declare left_cliff =
 isosurface{
  function{max((y*y-1),(x*x-1),(z*z-1))+F_bank(x,y,z).grey*0.3
                                                     } // a simple plane
 max_gradient 10// the default value
 contained_by{box{<-1,-1,-1>, <1,1,1>}}
   texture {  T_Terrain}
 scale <2,6,1>
 translate x*-3
                 }

 #declare right_cliff =
 isosurface{
  function{max((y*y-1),(x*x-1),(z*z-1)) +F_bank(x,y,z).grey*0.2
                                                     } // a simple plane
 max_gradient 10// the default value
 contained_by{box{<-1,-1,-1>, <1,1,1>}}
   texture {  T_Terrain}
 scale <2,6,1>
 translate x*3
                 }

object {left_cliff}
object {right_cliff}

It have an oniric quality. It don't mather if it makes sence or have any logic.
I can imagine a rope coming from a point in the sky, far to the left and way up, 
ending somewhere to the right behind and under the observer.
