Shot on my 20D mostly with the 50mm 1.8

They seem pretty soft. I'd go with ISO 1600 rather than get this softness although I can't tell if it's focus or motion blur. But a good selection of an interesting group.

I noticed that they are soft as well. Perhaps DoF at f/1.8 - 2.0 isn't allowing the whole subject to be in focus. I like # 4 the best for it's framing and composition.

That's probably a huge part in this. I like to have a super shallow DOF and that comes at a price. Maybe I need to open 'er up a bit more. At least til I become a pro at focus.
