These things will help you a lot:

*Single point focus--get it exactly on what YOU want to be the sharpest point.

*Smaller aperture--f/5.6 doesn't give you enough depth of field at that focal length.

*increase your ISO to 400 or 800, to give you faster shutter speeds, even at the smaller aperture. I get good images at ISO 800 on my D3100.

If you want to do shots like this, you really need a 300 mm lens absolute minimum. I started out with the 55-200mm like you, and my first upgrade was to the 55-300. My next upgrade will be to the Sigma 150-500.
