I like the composition, though I'm not sure the collar/ zip adds anything to it. I think your choice of going in close is good. Lighting is a little harsh to my mind - I don't like that white chin area - I think softer lighting could have reduced that glare. This definitely speaks of texture though. Apologies if I'm repeating previous comments, I haven't read them.

Nicely composed and framed. Great lighting-- like that there's something to anchor the lower right corner but the siney metal detracts a bit. best of the grizzly beard shots ;)

the lighting on the chin is a little hot. other than that, i think you've done a nice job with the overall presentation and composition.

The angle chosen really helps to give a dramatic effect. Monotoned color really emphasized this. Lighting is really good. helps to bring out the highlights and shadows to create a great composition. "10"

I thought grizzled was 3 day growth, but I was wrong.. it's grey streaks. Leather collar suits the rough texture. Works well.

Best beard entry and not only. Looks great in sepia. Good texture and light. Well done. PS I am happy I didn't submit my beard :)

Nice concept. I find the zipper distracting tho.

this is definately the best of the 'facial hair' texture pictures. An interesting chin, excellent light, like the monochrome. Can't fault it.

doesn't do a lot for me - though I couldn't really criticise anything. I'd perhaps want one or two things different, but then it wouldn't be your photograph, would it?

Black and white works well with this shot. Texture is great - sharp, clear focus. Subject - eh, okay. Composition is pretty good. Lighting is good, but I would do something to change that dark shadow under the lip. Something to light that area slightly so the contrast isn't so stark.
