Your light setup don´t help you to reveal the textures of the subject. To reveal textures the light must be in a hard angle setuped to do it. A common setup is a lateral 45 or 90 degrees. But top or down light works well too.

This challenge has many macro shoots. Macro, due to a shorter distance from subject tends to have a shallow DOF. You need to interact with the camera to ensure no relevant piece of subject is out of focus by this issue. To do this increase your DOF.

The botton part of the shell has little focus. May be you can increase the DOF.

Sorry by the time a left to reply your question.
When you tell me that it was a smal region crop I understand a piece of focus issue you get. Many people here thought like me about the focus. I do a boat shoot too for this challenge, and know how it is complex.
To capture a moving subject you has two options:
1) Panning, this is technique that consists to follow the subject with the camera before, during and after the shoot. It´s not simple as seems. You need to mantain the horizon line and speed of your moving. Don´t use all telefoto, put your apperture as you can get a slow shuter speed (typical 1/focal lenght - 1 or two stops). I pratice it using two eyes opened to see real subject and compensate for the black time of shutter-release.

2) High shutter speed with all stoped down apperture (small f numbers). A tripod is highly recomended too. It must requires a huge telefoto lens. But this your camera has.

This apply to all moving subjects. Near or far it will work but nearest subjects is the goal to any good photos. You are able to catch far subjects as near using huge telephoto lens. Good lucky at next time.

This is a dificult texture subject. The juice reflects light and you can´t reveal the textures. My first try out to this challenge was a apple and a watermellon. Both very bad. I had results like yours. A blured reflected surface. Your subject shows a bit of grains the compose some form of texture, then I will count it.
