doesn't have as much impact as your entry, funny image, though. seems to be the same lighting situation, but in your (flipped?) entry the dark side of your face contrasts well with the background, here it just seems to be too dark

good advertising shot, really looks kinda refreshing.
I'd change some things, though:
it seems she is looking at the glass rather than at the camera; eye contact had made this even more convincing.
lighting is too frontal, a second light source or reflector from the right had helped much.
i like the use of wide angle here, but a slightly lower POV (below her eye level) had created more impact and excluded her leg from the composition.
cream topping would have been her hair and swimsuit being wet.

This really caught my attention... and then to find out it was a self-portrait; well, I do know how difficult they can be!

The composition is nice, the red-red lips reach down to a visceral/animal part of me ('perfect' is what pops into my mind), and the quirky expression makes it just right. If I looked as good as you, maybe I'd try this myself! ;)
