I like this a lot better. If you were after creating a bit more 'glow' to the skin, I would recommend trying something like the following:

-Create duplicate layer
-Add Diffuse Glow (Filter -> Distort ->Diffuse Glow). You can use the sliders to define how much glow to put in etc.
-Then add a soft layer of smoothing such as with Noise Ninja or similar.

Here is what I did using these steps (hope you don't mind!)

An interesting pose, not a standard pose you would typically see in a portrait.

First off, the model is very attractive and the relaxed face works well. However, I am not at all enamored with processing. The skin seems very much oversmoothed, removing all texture and luster. The face is cast in heavy shadows, especially from the hands as if the light was not positioned to minimize shadows. The smoothing of the skin does not appear to match the nice texture in the hair.

It reminds me of a posture we see in Indian traditional dancing, the image is maybe a bit soft but I do like that gaze.
