A side-view cowboy shot on a rooftop at dusk: two men of the Survey Corps stand close enough that the frame's whole width is the space between them, seen in profile. On the right, the taller man with short blond hair and thick brows leans his weight forward onto his left leg, his green cloak hanging heavy off his shoulders, and he bows his head down toward the other; his right hand is already cradling the smaller man's jaw, thumb resting along the cheekbone, the fingers curling warm under the ear. On the left, the shorter man with a black undercut stands with his boots planted, his chin lifted, his eyes shut, the collar of his white shirt gathered under the knotted cravat; he has come up onto his toes to meet him, one hand gripping the taller man's jacket lapel at the chest, knuckles pale, the jacket pulled a little out of line where he clutches it. Their foreheads press together and touch at a single point; their noses nearly brush; between their lips there is only breath and no distance. Both men's eyes are closed but their faces are not slack -- the smaller man's brow is faintly drawn, the taller man's mouth curves into a small private smile, and the low sun lights the edge of his blond hair and the line of his jaw in a hot orange rim while the shaded sides of both faces stay cool blue-grey. Behind them the stone parapet of the roof, the tiled slopes of the town and the flat plain beyond fall away into haze; a strong wind crosses the roof left to right, so the hems of both cloaks bell and snap out away from their bodies and the black hair lifts across the smaller man's temple. The sun is on the horizon behind the camera-left shoulder, the only light; its long shadows run to the right along the stone, and the two men's shadows merge into one shape on the rooftop tiles. Palette: sunset orange, dusty green cloth, white cloth, brown leather, black hair -- nothing else admitted. Living detail: the taller man's cloak is pinned at his collarbone with a chain, and the wind pulls that chain taut away from his throat while the fabric streams out behind him. Intimate, tender.
