Also moved the whole right eye/eyebrow area a bit more to the right, cause it evidently needed so. Compare the proportions with the nose in the original photo (As a rule, the eye starts *after* the nostril flap)An important step after symmetric clonation, is to give tiny aleatory tweaks with the smudge tool or the Liquify tool, to break the visual tension. Painting around light changes is also part of this. After that, i fixed some shadow problems, in this case, in the upper lid and in the new right ear.here's my quick take: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8784/fixets.jpg The symmetry replica is a good idea for destructed photos, but for more than one reason, it really cant be leaved like that, it requires further steps to “naturalize” the look.

The guy does look a bit retarded in the touched up photo, but it was a great use of tools in order to fix it. Ah!

Overall the final image feels manipulated I wouldn't say the eyes are too close - the right pupil is definitely cross eyed. You can see where the iris starts in the original damaged photo and the final is moved over considerably. The eye on the whole is in the correct spot though!The shadow on the right cheekbone feels smooth and airbrushed. Also - the forehead feels flattened from the lack of shadow on the right. Taking clues from where the hot spot of the directional light you will notice it's to the left (as reflected in the left eye). Really nice home work for the hobbyist - but not a great historical restoration. An interesting approach.
