This was basically all done with adjusting the curves using DPP. I first adjusted the contrast and brightness then adjusted the red and blue to bring out the colors of the flag. Only other PP was cropped at bottom and left side. PP is still a new and foreign world to me, but i'm trying to learn.

Im no expert but after version is a bit too cold and bland to me. I like the before picture better it has more of a warm and welcoming feeling to it. I would try and maintain this also whole flag in the picture would be nice.

ok, thanks for the feedback. i was trying to get the whole flag in but i got the cap of my truck in the bottom right and cropped it out. I'll keep practicing. I have no idea what I'm doing with Photoshop. It's all trial and error for me
