A lone cowboy rests against the saddlebows of his horse, bottom frame slightly cutting into his weathered boots, increasing the focus on the lived-in chaps and the holster of his gun. In the background, a vintage windmill spins like a tireless spinmeister, casting long shadows under the harsh afternoon sun that gives a heavy contrast between light and dark areas. The golden and brown tones of the prairie bring warmth and nostalgia. The cowboy and his horse in the foreground and the windmill behind are arranged in a way that gives the scene depth and perspective. The camera angle is from behind the cowboy, looking out over the wide-open, almost barren landscape; there are no incaged limitations in sight. A slow zooming out movement emphasizes the solitude and infinite space.
