I did run them through noise ninja and I did lighten the shadows some in PS.      Nikon D2H/Nikon D2X, Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR Lens, Nikon SB800 Flash, and a bunch of other Nikon Stuff.

Yeah, I'm trying not to use flash due to red eye but I think I have to resolve to that as I don't have strobes setup.  Thanks for the compliments, I wish I had strobes, but that will never happen for me, I shoot sports for the local paper and I cover 3 high schools.

psurrette Senior Member  More info | If you can get the flash off camera to eliminate red eye and keep the flash power to about 3 stops above ambient light you will get a more natural look, otherwise pump the ISO and shoot with just ambient light. |SportsShooter Member

How do you set the flash power 3 stops above ambient light?

psurrette Senior Member More info | Dec 09, 2006 13:01 | #10 This is how I would do it for on camera flash, If you know that ambient is ISO 1600 f1.8 1/500 sec, based on your EXIF info of your first shot, The first thing I would want to do is lower the ISO, if i go down to ISO 800 that is one stop, I would actually go to ISO 400 2 stops lower than what you need to shoot ambient, I like shallow DOF so I would leave it at f1.8, Shutter speed I would then adjust one stop to 1/1000th's. Set camera to manual with these settings and let the auto flash do its work. You can meter the flash to get there as well, this is what you would need to do if you used strobes or flash setups off camera. You are setting your camera to 3 stops below the ambient setting and letting the flash fill in the rest of the light. If you still find this to harsh you can adjust one or two stops down to your liking. |SportsShooter Member

Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
