“The Mentalist” is better, though.

The secret to doing well is to look at the eyes. For one thing, the skin around the eyes tends to crunch up when the smile is real. I’m not seeing that in the professional model. That doesn’t mean that she’s not really smiling; the crunched up skin could have been photoshopped* out by the professional photographer.

*Open Source advocates should always use GIMP2 instead of Photoshop®.
