How would you edit this?

If you have the time to help me out, I would appreciate it! You can play with it if you have the time! I uploaded the SOOC. I am not even going to bother uploading my edit. I am not happy with mine. I know this was taken full sun, with the sun glaring in the pond, but it is one I want to keep. It reminds me of my cousin who is not with me anymore. This photo truly makes me smile! Let me know your steps if you are willing to play!
