Hey Jerry,
Cool stuff, and these are tough shots especially with the lighting that you had. Actually very tough with the sky as bright as it was behind em.

I'm assuming that you handheld these and probably @ 300mm (from shot info you entered)?

Remember the rule of thumb for telephoto lenses...(usually true) when handholding your shutter speed should be 1/focal length. At 1/100sec; any movement on your part or the players would cause blur.

Don't be afraid to take that Rebel to ISO 800 (1600 if you must) it can handle it.

Yup, I don't like aphids either. There was a lady at work that actually got Ladybugs (assuming same as ladybird) in the mail. The come in this really cool Habitat shipper.

As to the shot, try hitting this with the Clarify filter to bring out the little buggers. Lightened up the shot looks really vibrant.

Nice candid. Nice and Sharp. I Like, as mentioned below, the people in the background are great, all appearing to have their backs turned on the vendor...to busy to pay any attention. Great job.

Nice work. Has an intense feel to it. The tones are wonderful and pull it all together. Great use of compilation.

I like the feel of this shot Judy. Perhaps just a little more toaster to balance it out (for me). Great dof and lighting.
