Well everyone, thanks so much for the comments. It was interesting to see how some really liked the focus on the teeth, and others really disliked it. I think thought if I were to re-do this shot I would go for an eye-focus.
As with most potraits, I prefer to see the eyes more in focus than any other part of the body.... unless you're a dentist showing off your dental work.
Wow...interesting that you would choose to focus on the subject's TEETH instead of the eyes. I give this a 6 for creativity, even though the composition is not very striking to me.
