I agree.

Also – What’s he trying to achieve/convey with the pose, LoS and focal angle?

A “Hey folks, look at this girl with big boobs that I took pictures of!” photo?
Or a “Here’s a portrait of an attractive woman that I took.” ?

If it’s the later of the two – Photoshop CS, the 5th tool down from the top.

EDIT:
TheDon - Check your PMs. Not sure if you're into film or not. Let me know what ya think.

Yes, I agree. There is already enough attention below her chin.

Although the light path to her face may be blocked if you put light from the ground up...

Don't light from beneath, if you don't intent to give it the horror effect. I like the second one best: the light on here face is almost nicely balanced. Next time go with the light a tiny bit more to your right, so you will form a perfect triangle of light under her left eye. I's a very classical way of lighting that go's back to the sixteenth century. And maybe a fill on her left to open the shadows. And if you shoot from above show more of that impressive décolleté. Nice work, love Black and white.
