Wow the lighting is great the model attractive and the background and pose nice but its the same image we've all seen a million times.
Try something new.  A different angle a unique location maybe a crazy
prop or a hairstyle but step out of your comfort zone.  Its funny
when people ask what we as MM viewers think of their work.  In
most cases I want to say well other then the standard butt in the
air with model wearing a thong its beautifull.  To be sure I also need to
take my own advice but when you have the models and a good MUA and
access to cool or fun places go for the gold.  Maybe the model or MUA
has some ideals but take some risks.

There's nothing that hasn't been done before. So I interpret what you're saying as "don't get into a rut"

The trick is to stretch yourself and try to keep doing stuff that challenges you and makes you grow.

Another way of looking at it, is: if you're in a really interesting rut and you're still growing and learning the details of it, then stay there if you want to. But as soon as you stop learning, it's time to move on.

I totally agree!! (see my profile intro)

My last shoot I braved a mohawk, chickens, and some goats. Yippeee chickens.......
