Don't know if the two white dots were intentional but they tend to distract from the main subject a little. Otherwise a well captured close up.

Very nice composition. The colors contrast are great, and also the texture. I would prefer a tighter crop, though.

I think if you had a dull background that was not reflective and was in focus this would be a great shot. 6

I like the idea with this, and the toothbrush bristles from this angle are a great subject. the background is way distracting and busy though, and I feel like the orange may not be a good complement for the red white and blue. you should try photographing this guy again on a low saturation, featureless or solid color background, i think it would look really neat.
