Well, this shot just goes to show how much you have learned in a year. The principal problem I see with this shot is the use of on-board flash. While sufficiently illuminating your subject, any on-board flash is so close to the lens that it flattens and minimizes features. It's best to work with 1, 2 or 3-point lighting that is 30 to 45 degrees from the subjects view of the lens.
HERE is a good diagram with explanation.
I believe lighting can make or break any portrait, and is what separate a 'snapshot' from a portrait.

Her eyes are 'dead'. Without any catch-light or sparkle, I feel portraits lose a lot of dynamics.

And you? It's always the same, my wife hate the pictures where she's at her best, very photogenic, but she wants me to delete almost every single one of them.
I like this portrait, the daffodils and the tree, but especialy your girlfriend, great pose and a lovely smile. You can tell her that.
Best regards,
Klaas

Interesting angle, showing us all these wheels. I would have included the head of the man in front. Otherwise a nice documentary photo!

A beautiful intimate portrait of a rooster, Matthew. The stark red and white play wonderfully off of each other. And the grey background helps it all pop out. Well done!

Not bad Matthew . . . Suggestions?
1) Maybe add a bit of backlighting (low).
2) Set the bottle up a bit, not so laid back.
Otherwise . . . Nice image!

I'd say you've done well. As long as you keep in mind that the brightest spots will attract the viewers eyes (in general) the man's ring is a little distracting, as well as the over-bright white of the left eye. Perhaps a reflector on his left could have softened the shadow and lowered the contrast between his eyes and skin.....I'm a newbie as well, so thats only my uninformed opinion.

I like the compostion, the kleenex on the bed makes me think she has been crying, it gives a sad tone to the photo. the woman in the background ads to that feeling, both women seem lonely. the photo does seem a little flat, a bit more contrast would help

I love the natural lighting. It adds a bit of mystery to the darkened areas. The only thing that is a bit distracting is the shape of the catch light on the left side eye. Its bright white pops out of the darkened areas - maybe a little burning to take the brightness down...course that is MHO. Well done regardless.
