sorry. supposed to share that! I use GIMP.......this is from memory but should be right.....

I adjusted the levels, curves and saturation (+10) which is what I generally start with.

I selected the blueberry and upped the saturation more (+20)

Went to color adjust and took the red down (-10)

I selected the eyes and upped the saturation and used unsharpen mask.

HTH

The colors look so much better than you original and if you want to take the time you can burn in the sky with your burn tool in photo shop. It would be worth it if you want to frame it. The framing is good and your subject is precious.

i tried to do it by putting the two together and doing a layer mask but it was way above my know-how with the tree lines and stray hairs.

she is so precious!
