Charles, you did excellent job, given the circumstances. Judging from the EXIF data (notably focal lengths) you used Tamron 28-75/2.8 lens. This is fine lens indeed. However you could have tried faster primes such as 50 mm lenses (either f1.7 or f1.4 varieties) or even limited lenses. This could have allowed you slightly faster shutter speeds with slightly less DOF.

Personally I resolve to less shutter clicks but more bit depth and more processing flexibility thereafter. But you did excellent job nonetheless...
