Believ'n Steven...

Monique - Steven's advice is spot on! (And Alan's, as well)

I've photoshopped some changes to show you - the changes are really minor, and all done without moving the eye a bit.

The turn of her chin on the right side falls much farther over to the right - lining up a little to the left of the iris if you draw a plumb line.

Her mouth on our left is raised too high, I lowered that side, and raised the other side - which puts her mouth in the same perspective as her eyes.

Then, lower the whatchacallit - fleshy part of her nostril- on our left, and raise it a tad on the right.

Cheek came in a bit, and her forehead is missing the beautiful little scoop. If you raise her hairline just a tad, it' ll give her the proper head size for such a little girl.

Anyway - this may seem like a lot more changes than just moving an eye, but they are little adjustments, not a major repaint.

You're also missing an opportunity to reflect some red into her chin.

I've posted the flopped view, too, to show you it lines up if you make those changes.
