Lone Rider

One might suspect this lone rider to be acting like Don Quixote chasing

after windmills on the Midwest plains. Truth be told, our rider is a metal

sculpture at the Missouri tourist information rest area just inside Missouri

headed south from Iowa on I-35. My original image has more of a

panoramic look that got squished in sizing it for PN. Thanks for your

comments. Larry

Great clouds; I wish the rider/sculpture were more prominent and could be seen better.

Stephen.  I agree.  Thanks for your visit and comment.  Larry

Good stuff. It is the clouds that catch my attention immediately. And then i read about the rider and the horse and getting up close would have been my 2nd image.

I did a crop but I would prefer to be even closer to the horse

Tony, Yes.  You and Stephen are correct. It would have been good to get closer to the horse and rider.  As I recall my issues probably related to both time constraints at the rest stop and walking through this high grass with all of the insects.   Thanks for the crop.  I think it's a trade off - getting a bit closer to the horse vs. retaining the panoramic sky look.  Thanks.

Larry,

Very nice clouds under your very good composition.  With your title, I foudn the "Lone Rider".  It is very meaning ful.  Thanks a lot for your advice.  Best Regards,

Hi Larry- Well, I believe you have a very good image primarily due to the overpowering cloud formation Right now the clouds are #1 but with a close-up of the horse & rider , the clouds would recede to #2.. THanks for your recent comments on my image . Best Regards -Ross

Ross,  Thanks for your interpretation of this image. I fully agree.  The clouds and the panoramic format are #1.  This is actually a fairly old image that I unearthed.   Larry
