The white in that eye is too light. The eye is a ball so the right side of that eye will be in shadow just as the shadow plan on that side. If it looks light in the photo it might have been retouched. I also think you over softened some of the edges of her habit. It's really hard to tell how dark your darks are based on your jpeg. Keep going. Take the color from your sister.
