My first impression of this photo is that it is perfect technically. I think the pose is very appealing, and it meets the challenge well. I think what we should talk about, is something else :)
The subject matter needs to be appealing to both men and women, and as you said in the title, it was aimed at the guys :) They answered in droves as you can see in the comments! hehe..
From a female perspective, I'll tell you what I think of the general image, and the feeling I get from it. The girl looks a bit bored and frustrated, as if she's been in that pose forever (it may be the case that this isn't true). Personally it makes me feel bad about myself. She's a very beautiful model, and it's one of those "I wish I looked like that..." Imagine what happens when a photo doesn't make you feel good about yourself? I'm not saying that this would be a feeling from all women, but it is my opinion. I hope it explains a bit why although you had a technically perfect image, why you would have lost some points somewhere.
Good luck in future challenges :) Please Private Message me if you want to talk further about this :)
