The 550 is a great flash. But if you're using just one flash, your light is too unidirectional, especially if you're using it on-cam which I assume you are doing.

What I recommend is adding to your already expensive investment and but 2 more lower-end Canon TTL flashes, I think they are the 420's at about $200 each. Put them at the corners and point them at the action. Then point the 500 at the ceiling and let them trigger the other two.

The results will be great. (be sure to have lots of batterys). You can also use studio lights, but that's another topic.
