There is not much that can be done to improve this particular image. You could try to increase contrast but it still will not be a very good photo. When in doubt with shooting this type of image it pays to take several shots at different exposures. The window light will usually get blown out when contrast is great but if you use a tripod and take several shots at different exposures you can then combine two shots to make a decent photograph.

The image is soft as you said but what is more important is that the subjerct is also under exposed. For this type portraits, one would like to use a 100mm lense, would attemp to diffuse the window light and measure distance from the sensor plane to the subject and preset the image focus, cameras tend to under of over estimate focal length in low light conditions.

It's actually a candid shot, but thanks for the suggestions - definitely useful when I'm able to set it up. Reply
