This would be helped by increasing the contrast and upping the gamma a bit. It may be my monitor, I haven't calibrated it in a couple of months.

  I'll recheck my calibration and have another look, thank you!

  Update: Hah, turns out although I had calibrated my monitor I'd disabled the config in the Spyder app for some reason!
  I've bumped the contrast up a bit and tried to bring up the detail in the eye a little more.
  I think this looks better without pushing the edit too far?

    Yeah, I re-calibrated last night too, and you're right, the eye looks much better.
