 From the focal lengths of those two shots, the $150 Sigma 30/2.8 or the $400 
Oly 45/1.8 should do the trick. I gather 
the Sigma is quite a bargain, but may not be enough longer than the 20/1.7 to 
be worth getting.

The Oly 75/1.8 is supposed to be super, but is a monster, relatively, and $900. 
(AND, Oly wants $75 for a hood!)

Then, there's the Panny 35-100mm f/2.8 Lumix G Vario Zoom, even bigger and 
heavier - for $1,500.

If you want to manual/zone focus, OM 50/1.4, 85/2 and 100/2.8 come to mind.
