Can someone offer some advice for these types of shots?

I'm pretty sure we can. As JDArt explained, this has to do with the DoF (Depth of Field), or how 'deep' the area is, that is in-focus.
Could you also please explain what exactly you mean by higher end lenses? Do you mean the 'better ones', or do you mean 'zoomed in' ?
and, FWIW, and even though it performs like an 'L', the EF50F1.4 USM is *not* an 'L' lens (and there is a little typo in the EF-S - not ES-S 18-55 also)
If terms like DoF or Aperture still dazzle you, I have a nice link to get familiar with the 350D and the 'photography-terminology'

everything is explained in easy words with lots of examples/pictures, like the DoF principle:

I sure hope this helps to start with, if you have more questions: the Camel ain't going nowhere
...*my* €0.02...
Kindest regards!
