First thing I did was adding a little more contrast using the automatic option in PS. After that I did add 15% more color saturation and than did use highlight/shadow option to pop up the details a little more.
The image still was a little to dark and so I did adjust curves to an input of 53 and output of 47.
Last but not least smart unsharp masking ad lensblur. Settings on 70% and 0.2pixels.
Kind regards, Harry
