There is a difference between my correction and Moose's. Moose started
from the original image and I started from the "corrected" image. The
difference is in the color of the iris. It's not clear to me if the
iris color in the original image is correct or if it has been affected
by the red-eye actually shining through the iris because it is so
bright. On further thought it occurs to me that the iris in the
"corrected" image isn't right either since the entire pupil and iris
have probably been monochromed from one channel.
In any case, the original image probably has a closer iris color
(appears brown) but the real iris might not be that bright.

I think a better image than either of our corrections will be found by
starting with the original and painting the pupil as both of us did.
However, I don't like Moose's choice of pure black which also looks a
little unnatural. Choose a very dark gray instead. Near black but not
completely so. RGB values of about 30-40 should do it.
