Cheeky - Yes! I think the white background may be a bit stark.

Comment by Neil:
Good expression and teasing setup. Very nice overall.

Constructive crit: BG has a yellow cast on the right side (intentional?). Also, though it's not seen, having her point her toes on the left foot and perhaps put the foot a bit more forward would have shaped her leg a bit better. You might dodge the shadow on her left cheek a bit, and the one cast on her forearm by the suit strap.

(BTW - in answer to your question about my using the 18-200 for macros, it's done by using extension tubes, which sit between the lens and camera.)

Comment by Retroesque:
Not sure of your models level of exprience, but the stance seems contrived. Her face isn't relaxed, she looks a little 'mid expression'.

Again with the lighting, I think too harsh. Perhaps soften it somewhat?
