For Free, I recommend PhotoScape X (Free)
I also use PhotoScapeX on your pic, mainly the “Dehaze, Brighten, and Clairity for the flower using a mask. I also used the mask on the water and flower reflection to bring out the cooler tone and darken the reflection.
PhotoScapeX (Free). They all work well for me. PhotoScapeX (Free) can be used accurately with 3 or 4 clicks or you can REALLY get into serious editing. Here are a couple of sites for you to see if you are interested. Be sure to select Mac/or Windows. Get the free version (just below the "Pro" download) first (it never expires), and you may always upgrade. Also, please do yourself a favor and watch the following two short YouTube videos to see if you would be interested in training.

http://x.photoscape.org/“One more thing”: On the opening page of PhotoScape X, there is an icon at the top, just to the left of the word "Viewer". This will open a page of EVERY function that PhortoScape has. When you click on a specific function it will describe how to perform that function and/or open up a < 2-minute video, showing step-by-step how to perform that function.
PhotoScape X has a built-in Viewer, Editor, Cut-Out, Batch* (processing), Collage, Combine, Create GIF, Print, and many other tools.
*Batch - Crop, Resize, Color, Filter, Film, Light, Insert, Curves, Frames.
