- Manually adjusted the exposure and contrast to brighten things up.
- Manually adjusted the saturation and temperature balance as the overall tones in the photo were pretty warm; I played around with the settings until I came up with something that minimized the red color cast and remained true to Sammy's skin tone. (I usually use the neutral dropper to help even things out, but I got better results by manually playing with the settings.)
- I then used eye bright (at 50% fade) to make Sammy's eyes really stand out.

Really nicely done - and you've also proven how much you can do with a free program. I love how Sammie pops in your edit and wow - those eyes!
