Gave it a go with GIMP. Catch lights in eyes would help, I think, but I'm not that good at catch lights. For future reference, outdoor flash is FUN

I masked out the background, going fuzzy around the hair, and just pulled curves around until I thought it looked ok. The white balance seemed fine, and I just left the background alone. Actually, just realized that the upper girl's face seems a bit blue on one side. Copying layer, shifting blue curves and making as another mask and using as a low opacity overlay would have helped.

Don't know If Gimp has It,but If so try Auto White balance,and also
try to adjust Saturation slightly.I made some adjustments to your photo
White Balance, and color Saturation .Also still trying to better myself.
Still not a bad Portrait that you did.

I also agree with Dali,Lama you get better results when using
flash outside

Also agree with the flash (or a reflector) for some fill to help with the shadowing.

Surprised no black and white unless I missed it..When all else fails sometimes a conversion works.

Hi Ricardo. Here's one with a bit of 'Lomo' effect (vignetting), increased contrast, saturation and tiny bit of local sharpening. Just one of several approaches one might take with this very appealing shot. Nice one.
Adjusted photo

I do see a lot of cyan in the skin. Produced by white balance off. Here is a quick edit. Thanks.

In PSE10 I adjusted levels and adjusted color for skin tone plus a little spot healing. I hope you think it is an improvement!

it appears you have shot this in the shade with no fill or reflector to put light back in as others have stated. when shooting in the shade you need to bounce some light back in
