Actually, I think you look just fine. But here's an edit, see what you think of this:



Basically, I did two clone-and-transform operations.

First I selected the lower jaw by lassoing through the center of the open mouth, down below the jaw, all the way to the back, and then up the front. Then I rotated and moved the lower jaw upwards most of the way.

Next I selected the upper lip down through the middle of the rest of the open mouth and extended partway back into the cheek area. Then I rotated downward and enlarged this selection. That effectively closed your mouth but left a little bit still open. (any more and it looked funny)

Then I used curves to lighten up the image.

But personally..... *I* think you looked fine just the way you were.
