Default A fly's life (reverse macro)

I have always dreamed of taking reverse macro shots altho at the time I didnt know how or really that they were classified as reverse macro lol but then finally I got a 20x macro lens and played with it and wile I got up close like i wanted all it looked like was you were looking thro a magnifying glass but dont get me wrong I was able to make some shots look great like that then while snooping around on here as I do most of the time I discovered reverse macro here is one I took today and the link to a few more if any one would give me critique on the clarity and depth of field and just over all shot I would be very appreciative thanks!!

The shot is good but the eyes are out of focus because of the shallow depth of field - focus seems to be resting on the fly's shoulder. It's tricky with moving subjects but eyes are key.

Oh, and please punctuate your posts, this one hurt my head! helloivetakensomephotospleasetakealookandtellmewha tyouthink!
