My wife dressed up in a summer kimono and we went out to Kyoto to take some pictures. The PP was mostly done on the tree and bushes. Here's the basic run down:
Convert from RAW
High Pass filter (Vivid blend)
Shadow/Highlights on tree
Selective Color/Curves on tree and bushes for yellowish/gold color.
Desat background area
Bring a deeper blue in to the water with a cooling filter.

Nice photo but the Tree does not seem to be the main focus of the photo yet it is in your Title. I find the background quite distracting, maybe a tighter crop at her back and more room left in front of her would have helped.
There are a number of nice features in this photo.
Attractive model, nice outfit (including bag and shoes), nice backdrop, great colours in the foliage. Yet the parts don't quite come together for me as they should. Hmmm.
I wonder whether it might have been better as a landscape ? with the model more to the right of the picture ? As it is she is in the centre of the picture, but her body is actually facing out to the left. I think for me, this makes the picture look a little unbalanced. but the attention to detail is very good.
