I was conveniently situated on top of a small ridge, in my car, with a clear view down over the land and adjacent road in front of me. The red feed station in the distance made a nice anchor point of color in the upper right part of the otherwise monochromatic frame, and I caught site of one of the cowboy leading another horse, fully saddled, down the road towards my position.
I got a few images, but then, as he crossed over that small ditch, he abandoned the road and turned across the grassy area, heading my way. It did not take long for him to hit the perfect spot in the composition. His head was down in concentration and he was blowing on his uncovered hand, making the image all the more perfect.
I actually used this on my Christmas Card a couple of years ago.
