Will all courtesies extended, I think the girl is very pretty - no doubt, however, I'm not sure this pose is the most flattering one to use. The left eye, (her right) being obscured as it is, is quite distracting. If this is the only image you have to use have you considered cropping it substantially, to exclude everything to the left of her nose? Not sure how that would work, but just an idea.
The color of her skin also seems to have an orange cast to it - might want to try adjusting the color temperature some or work with the red/yellow hues a bit (tone them down some)?
Of course, your friend is most likely not going to be as picky and would probably love it no matter how it's presented. ;^)
Take care, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's a quick stab at it:
Selected denim and worked on the two areas separately. Denim was adjusted in hue/sat, levels, and gaussian blur, then healing brush to override the discolored area a little. The selection of denim edge is too abrupt, but I don't have time to fix that right now.
Face was adjusted in hue/sat to remove yellow cast and take the blue out of the whites of the eyes. A little tweak in levels.
Entire image flattened, then focus magic applied to sharpen it up, then neat image over that on a duplicate layer from BG. History brush set to the sharper layer and area around eyes and mouth brushed back sharper with history brush.
Edge and corner burning to contain image.
Happy T'giving,
Robt.

Thanks Robert for the effor and suggestions !! This was the only picture in without the camera shake of the 4 pictures I was able to get. She was very shy and running around hiding behind her father.
These were the other 2 shots, i have tried few hours trying to fix it but failed to get anything decent.

Vikas,
If you mail me the full-size jpg on the first shot and the third shot, I will run focus magic on them and get them back to you so you have better base image to work from. Do you have neat image? If not, I can do that also. They tend to go hand in hand when things are really blurred.
