My story is that I just got my very first dSLR not too long ago
Over time I have made some progress in terms of sharpness but I still have much to learn, particularly when it comes to compo, lighting and bg.
I still use live view, have to use manual focus because AF too slow in LV.
This is Black Crystal, shes a pocket sunshine ;-)

C & C welcome, please be harsh as possible, I want to learn fast as possible.
EXIF
1/160, f5.0, ISO 800, 50mm f/1.8
Self criticism:
#2 - got some kinda black thing sticking out of model's head ( damnit )
#4 - shooting done in haste, should have paid more attention to bg compo
Oh and I hate flash and I have undying love for ambient lighting.
Sorry about the small pictures, got bigger ones here
Artistic Side of Things
I am mainly here for technical improvement but please allow me the opportunity to share a little bit about my actual work.
All these photos that I posted all along are actually from my invention of an article that I hope can help us, through pictures and words, understand another person to a certain degree.
The full article for Black Crystal is here -> Full Article
See all the photos and the small written words in between them. Then in your mind, try to see the big picture and reconstruct an individual based on the combination of all of these emotions and impressions both visual and written. If what you have constructed in your mind is at least 20 % of the real person then my experimental article is on the right track. The "flair" section is like a small guideline to this process, maybe its kinda unethical to try to summarize another person in a word or two but I do it with utmost empathy I promise.
I am grateful for any feedback at all at this artistic side of things too if possible because it is still experimental, any opinion or feedback at all in that department would progress the whole project further thank you =)
