Could this be retinoblastoma? Please help. (photo)

Could someone kindly have a look at this photo collage and tell me whether we could have a problem here?
(I've uploaded the photo, but just in case here's an alernative link:

Now i know the most logical advice is to see a doctor when in doubt, and that's what we will most likely do, however i would appreciate an opinion based on the photo as well. Maybe I'm just completely paranoid.
The photo includes shots with proper red eye reflex in both eyes, as well as shots where the eye on the left seems brighter (in 2 or 3 shots a lot brighter). In most shots it's okay though.
The flash on the camera is located on the left, hence on the same side as the brighter eye. In the shots in the last (right) column i turned the camera upside down, hence having flash on the other side, and I seem to have gotten the same brighter eye effect, this time on the other eye.
Is it the flash, am i paranoid or do we have a problem? My daughter is over 3 years old.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes time to respond.

It is best to evaluate your daughter by a pediatric ophthalmologist in person.
