The composition and idea of your pic are great! Good job of "seeing" it. Can you go with a larger aperature than 5.6? Like F/4? Or try to bump your shutter up a little bit.

A tip on hand holding, if your focal lenth is 70mm then the minimum for hand holding would be 1/70th. You didnt say what your focal length was. If you can adjust either your aperature or your shutter, or if you have a tripod, your picture will be much sharper.
Thanks for the positive reinforcement, Kirk. I do have a tripod but didn't think to carry it to a friend's house but it would have made trying to take that 2nd pic a lot easier.

5.6 is the largest I can get with my D3000 and the focal length was 55mm. I didn't even think to make the shutter speed faster

Is the aperture dependent on the camera or lens?
