[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Mongolian nomad leads a foreigner on a twilight ride on one of his horses to get him accustomed to the saddle and the feel of the horse. In the coming days, he will take a long ride on a different horse many kilometers to another ger. As the horse trots over the rugged landscape, refusing to gallop, the wooden saddle is brutally uncomfortable, bouncing him relentlessly, and he becomes hoarse (no pun intended) with shouting at the disobedient steed and spurring it on, to no avail. He later swears the ride will be his last.

Very nice photograph with the horizon splitting the composition perfectly.

It looks as if the foreigner is a movie actor on a set as the lighting conditions look as if an alternate light source is out of frame to the right.

Great Job.
