To "cheese" or not to "cheese?

[Julie Deane]

I respect the reasons given for not smiling, but if the child is always smiling and this most accurately shows the personality, I'd go for it.
It does distort the face so that the eyes are smaller and the cheeks are fuller, though.

The teeth can be de-emphasized even in a full grin, through the use of lowered constrast, blurred edges, and not showing full details.
