"Use a magnifying glass in some creative way." That was the challenge description. If mounting a Fresnel magnifier to a toilet paper tube and stuffing the thing into your lens mount isn't creative use of a magnifying glass, then I don't know what is. It met the challenge just fine.
As far as focus, it's in perfect relative focus. Blurry perhaps, but not out of focus.
Happy New Year.

I'm not certain, but as far as I know, this may be the first time you've posted a photo of yourself on DPC. (Not counting the childhood shot you used as a profile pic for a while.)
There is something very alien and malevolent about that milky eye with a twinkle, and the conspiratorial way that face is creeping into view from the very edge. Have you drugged my drink? Are you moving in to check if I am still conscious, or even breathing? You fiend, you...
Yeah... I agree that you used a glass in a VERY creative way... but the image has to show it (and not just the title). I really like this image (odd for me to like this sort of image, actually), but I feared for its demise...
really? "has to"? besides, this image would be completely different without the magnifying glass. Therefore, it does "show" the magnifying glass. It's obvious to me.

bizarre catchlight,creates a eerie, sci-fi feel, an image full of potential. Bumping to 9 for your persistence in getting this imaging; I'm guessing it was not easy. I tried this, a SP, as well.
Hate the explanatory title... but LOVE the image! Well done! But, I do have to add that I don't like the shot not including a magnifying glass in a Magnifying Glass challenge. (not voting)
For me this image doesn't meet the challenge. With no view of the magnifying glass I have no idea if one was used or if the image is simply out of focus. Something more half half may have worked better here.
