I followed a 3 step process:
1. Set shadow threshold in LAB. Saved image.
2. Set a neutral point in RGB to remove the color cast. Saved image.
3. Increased the saturation in LAB.

Overall I would say the image is much improved...
My Job is to get pickier as we go so...here we go...

The lower person looks good...the skin tone is right where I would expect it....
The woman in the screen shot attached...not so much...
She is definitely in a sunburn state of mind...

You other colors in the brick look good...maybe not so intense...

Well, I must admit that I didn't even see the two people in this photo. If I had, I would have backed off in the saturation and paid attention to the faces. I guess that I need to pay more attention to all the details in the photo.

That is the sneaky lesson that creeps into the background of the entire course...
This is really about looking deeper and using some tools to make better decisions...

The rest of the image looks great but my eye went to the red dots...
Saturation can give you away more often than bad exposure...

By the way we are going to be adding more saturation overall to images and the mantra will become Color... Color... Color...
The Key will be keeping increased color "real"
