This is great photography. Everything in the shot adds to everything else in the shot, and yet, each element could stand alone and be a separate good image.

This looks like a spot to come back to for sure. I love old fence posts such as this one. The OOF building in the bg is a perfect compliment. What kept this average vs outstanding for me is that the wires start fading on the off-center right of the post and all the way over to the remaining right. If you could have kept all wires sharp, at least on the post, this would present much stronger IMO. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like the twisted grass as well :) Nice colours and good DOF. The most important details are in focus.I would move the composition a bit to the left to enhance the "guardian". Good luck.

Great clarity and detail - interesting idea to use the magnifying glass - not sure how the title fits, but it doesn't matter...

Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I love the tight composition here, accentuated as it is by the magnified eye - I love the way that element plays with the focus too. I'm sure you must have taken one with the focus on that eye with the rest out of focus - that'd be a great image too. The face is beautifully sharp though and the cropping is inspired.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: This is one of those image that conveys an impression that you had a vision which you managed to achieve completely. Great shot.
