After much thought I decided that my previous piece of photography including the water dripping off the rough branch was not relevant enough to preside as my final piece, so I therefore went back to the drawing board and came up with a few more graphic design pieces. I feel that these are much more relevant to the poem and portray my thoughts on the peom much better. In this particular piece I have tried to create a surreal look in using the pieces of farming equipment such as the plough wheels and potato digger wheel to act like two cogs with a chain pulling the seed from the two bags at the bottom the whole way up to the hand at the top which is portrayed as "Autumn" in my opinion, as in the poem it goes "which Autumn flung down" Therefore I have used the picture of the hand throwing seed to portray Autumn in the poem. The picture of the old man is my great uncle as the farmer. My thinking behind this was to show him faintly in the background to represent the seed being neglected through winter and this part of the picture can also be viewed as an answer for the question posed at the end of the poem " where shall I be, When this little Seed is a tall green Tree?" My view on this poem therefore is that the farmer was once a young man when he sowed the grass seed and through time a tree came to grow in the same field and by the time it's a fully matured tree the farmer is now a very old man. I quite like the overall look of this piece however I think it has maybe to much going on in the background, so I may develop futher my idea.
