Trying To Catch Nature

After much playing around with a decent camera - I finally felt ready to spend a whole day taking some portfolio worthy photos. I went to West Stow and tried very hard to catch a snippet of the natural beauty there.

Ironically, though I decided to focus my attention on birds - my picture of the day featured no birds but I suppose thats the way things go sometimes.

Below is the link to the gallery of the best photos of the day on the National Geographic:

Please let me know what you think as photography is a field I am really trying to improve in.

This is my picture of the day -
