    Post a photo here, maybe someboby is willing to **** with the curves.

     

    An example (from the web?) of what you're trying to achive would be helpful too.

    You could try Camera Calibration > Shadows and drag the slider to the left, but for a stronger effect and more control, go to Tone Curves > Channel > Green and drag the bottom left point of the curve straight up.

    Add some Clarity, Contrast and drag the blue curve a bit down from the middle point.
