I don't know who she is looking at. Is it someone who screwed her over, and she's telling them "access denied", or is it someone who's about to get really lucky?
You leave the viewer completely conflicted with the choice. Either way, your look for her just screams sassy ... Phenomenal image!
Hmm, I only know that Europeans and the US (and the rest of the world also, I guess meanwhile) use the same middle finger curse. But normally in front of the body, not pointing to the lips. So for Europe putting the middle finger to the lips has (yet) no special meaning. But she is a US girl, so you could be right.
I've done it like this: The head points down and the eyes are looking to the camera. This is a classical pose of looking shy or behave like kids, when they broke something ("I'm innocent, dad ..."). Putting the finger to the lips adds a bit lasciviousness, but that is absolutely intended.
In reality this is part of the job. Depending on the topic of the photo-shooting there always some classic poses. Start with: where to put the hands. Millions of fashion pictures show us, that we have to walk through the city, putting the hands to the hips or near the frontal pockets. In front of a mirror girls always do some stretching and put their arms behind the head ... in reality they normaly don't do that
Today I did a bikini again. Why? Well ask your wife or girl friend if she will wear the same bikini as her neighbour. Unless she doesn't join a beach volleyball team, where you wear it like a uniform, this is a bad idea
So Noelia convinced me, to do one these frill bikinis (it is in the assets allready). For the image I used Mindfronts shader and changed the (internal) "wetmap" from white to grey. So it seems, that she just leaves the pool. For the hair I set the glossiness (based on Wolgade shader) to maximum. But there is always a mistake: because I was so slow doing the picture the water around the legs is totally calm

Unfortunately no Bellatrix is sitting in my room ... but you are right. Supporting 5 girls is a bit hard for one guy. I should create a virtual one and give him some tasks. E.g. designing clothes or go shopping and dining ... not to forget to take care of the kids and doing the washing up
