Andre98,

i think there is not much to make better.
there is no detail in the hilights.
I have spent a couple of minutes on this picture.
here is the result. Done it with Curvemeister!

 I think Frits has done pretty well, given the lack of highlight detail.  I would add that the white areas could be given a more natural tint, perhaps with masking to keep pure white in the remainder of the image.

I have thinking of doing more with the picture.
Perhaps later.
I am busy with making a DVD from my grandchild and solve some problems.
I also must investigate the gallery manual.

I tried:

1-noise removal
2-photoshop histogram-adjusted black
3-variations-added blue
3-curvemeister-adj skintones only
4-sharpened ends of hair and eyes
5-masked floor and sofa - to restore detail and remove noticeable bluish cast

Remaining problem: the highlights are really blown and do not seem recoverable

I had also such a result. but I thought it could better.
I used the picture what I have placed first.
Make this photo the right color with Curvemeisters skin 1.
After that I  used in PSE 4 the retouch-brush first on the should right down.
Afther that  it was right , I used again the retouch brush with as basic the shoulder color.
Also I used the smudge tool.
that's all.

This is indeed an interesting image.  The blue channel is far from blown out, and may be used to recover most of the over-exposed areas.

I'm about to get on a long flight and will see if I have some spare time (and screen room!) to do a version of this image.

I'm still working on a final version, but this is what I have for now.

Mike,

not bad, but it gives a overall pink color!

Yikes!  You're right.  Here's the image I meant to upload.

Mike , it looks much better.
I know that many photo's has  a contrast in hte skincolor.
But in the books that I have they said that in such circumstances
is to try make the  pale skin covered, but with less skincolor.

I gave a try at this one, some success, but some of the highlights are still was out. I am interested to hear how Mike deals with them. 
  My adjustments are
           In LAB using slider b 64 and -64
                                    L slight s curve
           USM  88,.8,6
           levels
