Default Overexposed photo

Hi all, I wonder if there is any way I could correct the overexposure to this photo.

Any thoughts and guidance is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Some more information would be nice, like whether you shot in RAW or JPEG. Also be sure to include all exposure info from the EXIF.

Do you have Photoshop, or do you use another PP program?

As this ISN'T a tutorial, I've moved it to Post Processing.

Please keep the tutorial section for tutorials..

Best,
Sime

I used Corel Photo Shop to process this shot. I also use GIMP and Photoescapes..

Thank you.

What im wondering is why you had such high ISO. You had plenty of room in your shutterspeed to drop it waaaay down.

Im not familiar with Gimp, but im sure that some curves/levels and some gamma adjustments would work well.

Don't know about Corel or Gimp, but in photoshop:

ctrl+J
Blend mode Multiply,then adjust opacity slider to suit
