Eliminate sharp reflections?

[Tintype_18]

I'm using this photo in Raw and jpeg as a "guinea pig" to learn DPP4 and PSE 2021. I have played with DPP and PSE Quick to get a decent photo. I want to soften the glare on  the rhododenron leaves in the background. Your suggestions are most welcome. Adding- had to reduce it to fit.

Is it a RAW file? 

The range of adjustments in DPP for JPEG files is limited.

John, that might be a jpg. There should be a RAW photo, also. I'll check. Good point, BTW. I take both.

What I said only works with raw, not jpeg.

Johnr, will pull up RAW photo and go from there. Thanks for your post. Rain for the next few days preventing me to get out for more photos.

I agree that circular polarizing filter is the best solution, but I do not always carry one. DPP can sometimes make a good enough image from one that is not perfect.

Thanks to all for your help. I'll be taking a bunch of photos this weekend for a magazine article. Photos will be outdoors and indoors.
