Just a close up view of a mouth chewing on a nail. I tried to keep it simple yet interesting enough to look at. Again, hopefully not too many people use the same idea in the same way.

I can definately see anxiety in this shot. Good capture. I like close ups such as this in b/w so that we don't get too much detail of ones face. I works well here and the lighting is quite nice.
Nice lighting and shadows, really captures the habit. The skintones are exposed very nicely. The use of negative space in the upper right is very good and contributes to the composition as a whole. The amount of spit in the teeth is a little distracting from the nail biting part.
