from edit one then added Vignette, but chose purple shade, faded it and made it weak.

______________________________

Added sepia (light brown shade) and faded to 60%

____________________________

Edit Four.

removed the boost

worked with 'shine be gone' on her face.

Edit Five.

Wanted to try something different!

Worked with edit four and took into curves. I made a deep U curve and removed from the bricks. I liked how it picked her off the wall, but she looked a little orange, so...

_____________________________

framed to match.

Added a quote.
