A moving target and shade were a problem. That little guy didn't stay still more than a moment.
May I make a suggestion. I think you have many good pictures, but they need a bit of sharpness to be noticed more. I use an Irfanview program that can be downloaded for free. There is a automatic color button that often helps enhance the natural color. It might be useful for you.
