General: This is a good attempt at a documentary shot. If this is what you were trying to accomplish then you succeeded.

Composition: The fingers are a bit distracting. Showing more teeth and concentrating on either the lower or upper set to emphasize a particular area could possibly improve the composition.

Exposure: In general the exposure is good. There is just one hot spot on a tooth on the upper right. This could probably be corrected by noting where the light is coming from and adjusting the angle accordingly.

Impact: Looking at someones teeth is usually not very appealing (except for a dentist). What might help is isolating one tooth. That said, for the purpose you propose in your comments you could probably succeed with this type of photo.

Whoever this is might want to floss more. This is a pretty graphic image of some of the worst teeth I've ever seen, but it doesn't seem to fit the "at work" assignment. This should be on a billboard to show people what happens if they don't take basic care of their teeth.

Umm, close up dentristy. Fits the theme without actually showing someone at work. The lighting is a little bright.

Interesting picture but not realistic. If this were a dentist or doctor, his nails would be cleaner and/or disposable gloves would be used.

Not a bad idea, and certainly unusual.. But I am not sure how much of "people at work" it shows.. I would never have gone to a dentist with fingernails that dirty ;) (4)
