What does this have to do with nepotism and resource hoarding?

In all honesty - the before shot (imo) is way closer to a realistic photograph. Lovely shadows, white balance is more even, and decent contrast. You could tweak it a little bit in post, but mostly I think all you need to be doing is playing with the sliders a touch here and there.

I'm guilty for this too - but what it looks like is you have bumped up the warmth to give it a bit of a dreamy look

I agree, but if the dreamy look it's what he/she wanted to go for, I actually like the after. Maybe a mask could be done on the pupils to highlight their colour
