photoshop help

[lulu]

I took this photo on a cold day and I had to work fast.
I am not happy with the light on the left side of the face. I tried to edit in PS but it does not look natural any ideas of how to fix it?

I would like to get you cc as well.
Thanks

You can't fix it, all the highlights on his right side are blown out. A scrim probably could have fixed it.

Yeh, I wish I had one.

maybe try just leaving the baby in color, or just the baby's brightblue eye's or only the families eye. I don't think it look bad, blow out on the left face is the only part that is troublesome. However I think they should like it looks good, cute pose, I like it.

It's tough with a small image' Little detail to work with!

Thank you for the nice comments nolatome. I tried differednt variations of selective color on that one I liked this one the best because it separted them from the background.

EOS- what tool did you use Clone? I have tried to clone, darken and many others and can't get it to look natural.

They were very happy with the photograph. I took others that did not have that problem but they really liked this one.
