This image was one of a series shot for a client needing cowboy lifestyle advertising & marketing images. In all seasons the weather is very important to get great images. The temperature was about 15 degrees (-9 C) with very dry air with a few clouds. Sometimes I have had to wait for days to get good weather to shoot in, and this was no exception.

Gear: Canon professional digital camera, 70-200 Canon Zoom lens at 100 mm, 1/320 sec, f5.6, 100 ISO and then processed using Photoshop CS5 Beta and using the Adobe RAW converter.
