I agree with Ed, you can do better. the high ISO is costing you some sharpness due to noise. You're better off opening the aperture and lowering the ISO. This is an old one taken with the original 55-250. Forgive the blown highlights.

Ah, I didn't know that even ISO 800 was considered high, nor did I know that it would cost me sharpness. Will definitely keep that in mind in the future, thanks for the advice!
