- Duplicate the layer
- Colors>Desaturate>Luminosity
- Colors>Invert
- Open the Channels list, drag any of the RGB channels to the general list to make a copy of it
- Right-click the copied channel and Channel to selection. You now have a progressive selection on the image where the dark pixels are more selected than the light ones, so tools will apply more to them and leave the light ones almost untouched.
- Open the Layers list, delete/hide the black and white layer, select the image layer
- Use Colors>Brightness/Contrast to bring out the kid's face, you will see that the light parts of the image are mostly unchanged.
- Select>Invert to have a progressive selection mostly on the "light" parts of the image (the raincoat)
- Use Colors>Hue/Saturation to add some saturation to the raincoat.
That's not the image I was wanting to improve, the stuff explained before helped with that pic, this is the scene Im wanting to improve now
This is the closest to how I want it to look
I did look at it before, but no real good match. Your image (screencapture?) has lost a lot of detail
A real quick 'maybe' using g'mic light patch filter, showing possible settings.

Can be 'tweaked' using a selection to constrain the filter. Hopefully someone will come up with a 'recipe'.
Using my netbook so a little stretched for battery time
