Photography lesson

A half naked man sits on a horse
his torso tanned and hairless
He's wearing combat trousers

Behind him the mountains
spectacular in sunlight
stretch back to the horizon

The man is sitting upright
He seems to stare with purpose
at something in the distance

What is this photograph telling us?
What is its message?
What is the horse thinking?
