Why are you complimenting your own photos?
I would recommend putting some space between you and the animal to reduce how blurry the images are; you're too close to your photo subjects, you need to put more distance between you and the animal if you want a clear photo.
Also, you should read your camera manual to see if you have a macro mode, that will only help to clarify your photos, which are at times so blurry its difficult to know what you're looking at.
