Agree with Daniel on the lighting positioning. The sample shot, lighting is too low.
It sounds like your issues has to do with how comfortable you are with your camera. By that I mean, you're focused on the settings, it seems, as opposed to focusing on the shot itself. And that takes years of practice. Now, after 14 years, I'm able to walk into a scene, and I usually have my settings and lighting correct, or very close to correct, on the first try. I make the necessary adjustments, and now I'm done. Now I focus on the shots. I look my subject over, fix anything that needs to be fixed. I look over my scene/setting, make any adjustments needed for that.
The main thing is, as others have said, just practice and build up your experience. It'll start coming together.
