I’m experiencing the same problem. It appears to be specific to female human or humanoid requests. I can take my same prompts and replace “female” or “woman” with “male” or “man” and it will generate the image in the correct orientation. I suspect that this is an intentional hard-coded effort to mitigate accidental generations of indecent images of women, but there’s nothing indecent with the images I’ve been trying to generate.
Proof of this coded gender bias. Try this prompt that just replaces the original post’s “female” and “her” with “male” and “his”:
“Baroque Gothic, Romanticism, Victorian Steampunk. low-angle, close-up, telephoto. Elara: , Appears 25, male, ethereal being, long silver hair, large silver eyes, heart-shaped face, slender, tall, pale skin with a luminescent quality, wears a floor-length, tattered gown shimmering like stardust, silver and midnight blue, carries a small metal device with a blue light on top and green wires sticking out’s silver eyes reflect the moon, his expression contemplative, gazing skyward, off-center to the right, standing on a misty hillside, the night sky vast above him.”
Interesting, no?
