 I had a few ideas in mind for this challenge but couldn't quite get what I wanted. This shot was done whilst we were being a bit silly but I kind of liked it. Many thanks to my wife -bec- for being my model.

Removed some blemishes with heal tool
Slight skin blur layer
A tiny bit of dodge & burn on teeth and hair

Good simple light, though it feels a bit hot on her face, She doesn't seem to be very engaged with the photographer. The multiple catchlights are a bit distracting, particularly from the square softbox/ light source.

I think you are losing more than you are gaining with the landscape orientation for this photo. Lighting is great and so is the exposure. The "box" in the eyes seems a little strange for a light.
