I like the last shot best also. The crop works well to. Try to use natural lines like the walkway to lead the eye to the main subject. Try to experiment with the Rule of thirds when composing the shot. It can help also. It usually helps to frame your shot with trees or something in the forground as added interest to the photo. Good photo luck helps also. Keep tring to improve and you will. Are friends on this site are giving you sound advice.

If you call your work practice, I love it. You did great. I love walking around the parks and trails here where I live and forgetting everything but photography and what nature has to offer.

Thank you, your opinion is most appreciated and encouraging!
I just got my first DSLR two weeks ago and there is soooo much to learn, as I'm using the manual mode.
That's what I've been doing, going to the parks around here as I love nature best.

The pathway photo is an excelant use of "leading lines" to draw the observers eye into the picture. Attached is a lighten version, hope you like it.

I found a book on my Nikon D7000 called Mastering the Nikon D7000 that showed me more than the manual and in plain understanding english at Books A Million. They may have the same for your camera too. I also like old barns which are fast disapering and big part of our history. We have a park here in Terre Haute that has log cabins, camping area, lakes for fish and swim and walking trails I love to visit. Fowler Park is the name of it. Dobs Park is another that displays Native American things as well as Nature issues and trails. I bought a Honda Big Red utility vehicle this summer to just ride around out here in the country looking for things to take pictures of on the country lanes and find lots of old historical buildings etc.

That is nice! Could you tell me how I could have achieved that with my camera? I was setting the meter to the middle "0."
Please and thank you.

Someone on this forum recommended The Magic Lantern Guide for my camera (Nikon D3100) which I did purchase and I feel it's a very good book and easy to understand.
It appears you have interesting places to visit and capture wonderful scenes. I feel very limited living in S. FL as I grew up in upstate NY. I much prefer the north for photography. There's a park there (Newtown Battlefield) which also has log cabins and they built an early Indian settlement there also. They do Civil War re-enactments there. Sullivan Monument there too. Beautiful park for anyone who's ever in the area.
I will check out the book.
Thanks.

Regarding the first shot (lane in the woods).
I think it would be improved some if the light had not been so high up (Noon). Shooting early or late in the day would provide more dramatic impact to that photo; and show more shadows (dark areas - depth). As shot, its a little 'flat'.
Keep up the good work!

I think it was around 2 pm, but still early in the day. The sun was up and down that day. My angle on the path could have been a little more distinct also.
Thanks for the advice Hohimer and encouragement is always greatly appreciated.
