As in my earlier post, I stand by my assertion that the image has been overly brightened. I do retract, however, my claim that the image was not overexposed -- I think her arm and his right shoulder have been. No matter what I threw at those two areas I could not get good tonal and color variation.
I was able to overcome the green cast, however, by, well, decreasing the green using Curves. It seems counterintuitive to me that by decreasing green and thereby increasing magenta (which are opposites like cyan and red) that the faces would appear less red -- but it works here and I've seen it work elsewhere. I guess it is a relative thing so that making the surrounding areas more magenta makes the red areas less prominent. Anyway, you might try a curve in the Green channel to decrease the greens, instead of a red channel curve to decrease the reds.
Best of luck. This can really become a nice picture if you overcome the contrast (brightness) issues and the color casts.
