Concern for water and environment is growing very rapidly and being voiced all over the world. In India, it is the growing human population on one hand, while water and environmental degradation on the other. Ground water table have been declining at an alarming rate. The natural resources are getting degraded. Our sources of water are drying up and getting polluted. Overexploitation of water use leads to deterioration of land and erodes the topsoil, henceforth productivity of the soil is declining. Degradation of land and water resources affects millions of upland people and these are the most deprived.

The compositional placement of the elements represent my intended aspect of me because I placed myself on, in between, and surrounded by bails of hay. The bails of hay represent a large part of my child hood and still do till to this day.
The expression of my face represent my intended aspect because I am very happy that I grew up in the country. Im thankful for all the things that it has taught me. Im glad to be around the horses and my family. I glad I can show my son and raise him around the things that my parents raised me around.
The background components, which are bails of hay located in the hay mow, represent my individual aspect because these bails are started from square one. In the fields I bailed the hay with my family and grandpa, we stacked them in the mow, and we feed them to our horses. When we go camping these bails come with. Even though it takes a lot of work to get these bails of hay. It makes me happy to know the memories that are behind them.
The lighting represent my individual aspect because it is natural light. The light is coming in from the mow door. It is front lite with a little from the side. I like how my whole body has the sun shinning on it just as if I were outside. It has a higher and soft intensity which I like because living in the country is peaceful yet, it can be intense and hard work.
Overall this image to me represent so many things, memories, camping, bailing hay, riding the tractor with my grandpa, playing outside, horse back riding, and riding four wheelers. Know I might not have as much time to do them things daily since I don't live there but any chance I have I take Brodey, my son out there because it already seems to be his favorite place to play.
