Need help from a photo editing expert (colours contrast, reflections etc..)

I have the following photo which was taken by my girlfriend on Sunday at Twycross Zoo of a Baby Orangutan on the back of its mother ... Ahh sweet ...

I want it to be enlarged and printed off so I can give it to her as a gift to cheer her up after a hard few weeks. The trouble is it was taken through a pane of glass and has a reflection of the camera in it.

Is there any way to mask that reflection or reduce its effects to make it a nicer picture ? I have tried to do a few things myself but it just makes the reflection worse and im limited to using Paint Shop Pro 7 to edit it.

If theres any kind soul out there with the skill and time to improve it I would be in debt to you

This is the original unmodified jpeg picture below:

Thanks in advance
