The image uses a dramatic scale contrast by juxtaposing an extreme close-up of a player's face with a very wide shot of the entire arena. This immediately communicates a sense of immense distance, which is further emphasized by a red circle and arrow that pinpoint a tiny detail (the camera) in the large scene.
