Retouching sisters photos for Christmas

[JAYKAT]

Here is the original photo...then I did a retouch on it to make the photo come alive...and I was very pleased...anyone else have any ideas....

I can see where I missed some spots...I am going to retouch that up....see what else I come up with...

Okay .... let me know what you think of this one... I also noticed she had a sty in her eye so I removed that...

Apart from the spotting and healing for marks the image has an overall magenta cast due to fading.

Fairly easy to fix on the main subject just add curves layer and adjust. For the background I used a new blank layer set to Colour, sampled an area of blue (opacity 50%) and painted over.
