Despite the last adjustment (Color Balance), Jennie's skin color looks a bit too saturated. There is too much red still. This was therefore sucked out (-10) by localized desaturation, not of the entire color spectrum (Master), just the reds (Reds). We want to keep the saturation level of the rich blue water. Maybe she had a sunburn when the picture was taken, maybe she didn't, but in any event, her skin tone now looks better, natural and healthy. The lightness in the Reds was cranked up a little to sort out the parts of her face which were causing too much harsh contrast.
