realising you're at the end of your zoom, and using available light (which always gives that warm orangey glow), for shots like this the best improvement you could make would be a tripod. Or at least lean on something solid (either your elbows or, better, the camera itself). It's the focus that's disappointing you. I don't think you're asking too much of the camera itself, but when you're as heavily zoomed as that (and available light = long shutter time) focus is going to be the first wire to trip you.
