A rugged cowboy in an open plain sits atop his horse, clenching his dusty, scratched belt buckle with an undissolved piece of tobacco in his mouth. The lighting creates a halo around the cowboy symbolizing his bravery, making him the guttiest person in the scene. His horse is grazing under the expansive sky – a reference to ‘kyne’ or cows in a broader sense to livestock. Shot from a low angle, the cowboy’s silhouette contrasts the stark orange and pink hues of the setting sun. Although the foreground is in sharp focus, the mountains in the distance seem faint, adding depth. A sense of balance is achieved with the lone cactus on the opposite side of the frame in a symmetrical yet subtle composition. The cowboy, central to the scene, conveys feelings of solitude and resilience, as the camera pans out gradually, leaving the viewer with the vast plains and diminishing figures.
