Personally i would set this up differently.
A landscape frame with the warehouse filling it all (the car leaves the impression that she is not totally alone) & the couch with the model far away from the camera (not very far...just as far as it needs to show that she is kinda small/alone/helpless in all this emptiness).
All ways following the rule of thirds (placing the couch & the model in proper position).
I don't know if you have the equipment to take this shot on an other time of the day (external flash f e ),but it would add a lot to the feeling you want to impress.

A different time of the day (sun set maybe would help to create a light/shadow game between the trees) & this would be fantastic.
Still good author!

A wider frame (that would include the whole girl) would be much better (imho).
All so lighting good be better (flash is hard).
You should focus the viewer on the girl (cutting the girls legs isn't a good choice).

You look really good with this outfit.
My only objection is that the pipe refers to a time before 30s-40s.
Like Sherlock Holmes or something(1800 f e).
Pipe is a very delicate kind of smoking unlike the cigar which was more like the smoking way at that time (30s-40s) among with the drink prohibition.
Over all this is a great composition author & i must say that i really like you in this outfit.
Adds style to you (imho).

Honestly author...Was this photo your BEST choice for this contest?
Sorry if i am wrong but this is actually a snap shot.
Theres no composition,no feeling,no mood in the shot!
The guy looks that is boring to death...
Once again sorry if i am wrong but lets try to raise up the quality of the entry's on this site.
Don't just search you HDD to find a photo that "fits" the contest.
If you don't can't / want to take a photo don't submit an entry that don't stand much of a chance!
All this is just my opinion author & i am sorry if i insulted you or your model in any way!!!

Candle lit Interior

karaflazz says:

The wooden pole is "dead center".
Placing the subject in the dead center lacks dimension.
Maybe the pole could start from the left or right corner of your frame (diagonal) & make this a little more interesting.
Just an idea!

karaflazz says:

As i can imagine you used flash for this shot (the shadow behind the bottle).
You should shot in raw so after the shot you can adjust the white balance.
If your white balance was on "fluorescent" or " tungsten" you'll get that "blueish" kind of color on your photo (it's kinda blue on the right & left side of the bottle).
Any way shooting RAW is much better than JPEG (you can do a lot of things on your photo) imho!

Tea anyone ...

A lower angle would make this even better (only the top part of the chairs would be visible with out any of the grass) & you would have a fantastic repetitive pattern (imho).

Ok...
You thought about it & you come up with this composition.
I know what you try to impress with this comparison if i got this right (that the phone is sooo old that belongs to the Jurassic age).

Nice idea but the whole composition doesn't help a lot (IMHO).

The Shallow Depth of Field doesn't do good in this case(the pick of the nose is the only thing that is clear in this photo,all the other parts are blured in the background).
A biggest f number or an other angle would be better i think but it's still a great photo with great lighting!

Did you try multi-segment light metering or just spot?
That calculates the luminance of different parts of the scene to determine the optimal exposure.
You know better author.
