Noise and reflections

[BuddhaPi]

Greetings,

So I'm on this soap bubble mission ( to much time on my hands! and to hot outside!).. I'm starting to get some decent results, but have a couple of questions. I think I need to adjust ISO to help reduce noice but not sure...In the second image, which has not been cropped or altered I'm wondering how to achieve results like this with out my relection and set-up appearing

the 2 images n question can be seen here...

thanx for any suggestions and or tips!

You might be able to deal with the reflection with a circular polarizer. However that'll remove 2 stops of light, which will mean you'll need to adjust your settings. What body are you shooting with? 400iso is pretty noisy in your example.
