I know I've covered this topic before on these very forums, but ok, lets cover it again. You can NEVER, EVER, EVER put back detail into a photo, once it has been lost. It does not matter how it was lost. Once it is lost, you can't get it back. We can brighten the image (as I have done), but that is it. The texture of skin & fabric is forever lost to digital noise, and digital nose reduction (if enabled). Add a bit of camera shake, which blurs the image a bit, and things get really hopeless.
In this case, the problem stems from using a <brand & model name redacted> "pocket camera" which usually do "auto everything", and even if you had the flash on (the EXIF says you did), it's anemic output would require you to be within say, 6 to a maximum of 9 feet from the model, meanwhile the EXIF says that you were at maximum zoom, so you were in fact a good long distance from her.
Ok, I know I've said use flash. But I also said use a DSLR and a big off-board flash. The size of the flash dictates it's power, which in turns dictates it's maximum usable distance. If you look at the specs for your camera, you will see that they indicate that 9ft 2in is the maximum usable distance for your built in flash. Compare this to something like a Canon 580EX-MK2, which has a maximum specified range of 98ft, and I'm sure you can see why things didn't work out so well in this picture.
I also suspect that this picture is even darker than it really was in real life at the time you took it, and here's why: When you tell the camera "hey, lets use the flash" by popping open the built in flash, the camera adjusts it's settings accordingly (in automatic modes), and it expects that you've read the manual, and know that you need to be within 9ft 2in of the subject. If those conditions are not met, then there will not be enough light, and the picture will end up being way darker than it actually was in real life at that moment.
