The main problem with the image is an inversion of the normal brightness 
relationships between pupil and iris.  The pupil may also appear too 
large as a result of the contact lens but that's difficult to say.

I fixed it by simply painting over the pupil leaving only the small 
highlight as white.  Pure black never looks right for the pupil so I 
chose a near black, dark gray that was half way between the darkest gray 
in the iris and pure black.  The painting could be done more carefully 
than I have done it but I'll leave that up to you.

To see the full progression from original to "after" and "after#2" click 
on the three links in succession and then use the back and forward 
buttons on your browser to step quickly between them.  (I don't know the 
overlay HTML tricks either but this works fairly well)
