should have added a bit more more more light... catchlights and reflector on the left. head is cropped off. although the stance is somewhat acceptable, i think the hair, and her hands close to her chest, can't really convey a cheeky feeling as you don't really notice she's taken them off

Crop is too tight. Be more careful with lighting. Note all the uneven shadows and skin tones. I can see the stretch marks, clone them out! Make use of the liquify tool if you have to. Posing wise, stance is ok but not angle. Try a 45 degree approach. It's more flattering. Her smile isn't convincing enough for a J-Idol shot. Smile more! Nonetheless, it's an improvement over the previous series.

wouldn't it be better to stand away from a featureless wall?

Erhm the black spots on the wall look distracting, should clone it away.
Agree with the lighting. Could've used more lighting or use off shoe flash.

head cropping is intentional. will take note of the other details.

dude. this one is good posture for j-idol but crop just slightly below the navel and above the elbows... it looks better that way. no need to be fixed ratio, just crop.
