Well...since I know about how long it takes for the color to go grey in a dead fly's eye, this makes me grin. I can visualize the scene. It went something like this...

WHOP! "Ok where's the camera? Quick! Put on the Sig 105! Ah...focus...CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!"
Tell me I ain't right.

Seriously, I think you did well. DOF is good for that 4.0 setting and detail is really sharp.
