1. Rotate 90 counter clockwise wink

2. Blow out the leaves in the background OR clone the leaves so that the automobiles are obscured.

3. Mask the glitter on the cloth and use a glare filter to make them sparkle.

4. Add glitter to the subject's gloves and hair.

5. Glitter bomb or orb glow on the right index finger might be interesting.

The biggest problem I have here is the lighting, how it hits the subject, I really can't think of how to work with that part.

That's not too difficult at all. Just takes time and some creativity. May be some $ involved to find the right digital artist.

I played around with the RAW filter and added a few of my usual tricks, and it didn't turn out...horrible so there's hope for it.

But agreed on the cars in the background. Those are irritating me. That being said, the subject can be plucked out rather easily and placed into a different background.

It's a good image and there are so many things you could do with it. Personally, with the apple and the expression I could see it with a dead tree in a desolate land; as if that were the last bit of life left in the world. 

That's just me, though.

Yes that true, you gotta pay them. smile  What I meant by the lighting was that there was throwback from the leaves, almost two different temperatures, if you know me I only like to have one temperature in any frame (but that's just a personal thing and it's not always).

or, you could try it yourself if you're short on cash or rather not pay. different blending modes (like overly, soft light, hard light) with greys, blacks and whites, are very powerful tools to fix lighting problems. and if the temperatures bother you, just use the favourite tool to colour correct (from photo filter, through curves, to colour balance).
