Some more nice portraits Denise.....good work!
JJphoto...about noise....there are probably more than a few ways to reduce noise and maintain detail :
1. Avoid underexposure like the plague.....terrible noise in shadows or dark areas...even worse with high ISO....keep the sun at your back, avoid harsh light.
2. Photoshop has a filter called reduce noise. It has various settings to allow you to keep detail from smearing out. In CS5 it works pretty good. You can always make multiple passes at a low setting to see the effect gradually.
3. Consider a Photoshop Plugin such as Noise Ninja, Topaz Denoise or Noiseware Pro.....these are reputed to be the best.

Nice Shots David and Joel!
Ok.., All of you bird people out there have inspired me, especially Joel and JJ!

David - That shot is so cool! I wonder what my chances are of getting my daughter to stand out in the middle of the yard with her hand filled with bird seed while we wait patiently for a bird to land!?[^o)]
Joel - Awesome photo as usual!
Rich - If this isn't your regular gig, you sure could fool me! Your shots are fantastic!! Hard for me to pick which one I like best but I think #2 wins!
