Image quality
You will have problems with quality for several reasons. Digital noise being the main one on your images, this is due to inexpensive camera and lenses (the converters you use are contributing to that too).
I don't wish to be negative, you have to work with the kit you have but long lenses, heat haze and camera shake all contribute to poor quality images I'm afraid.
I can interrogate the image and see that you have used a Canon 550d and the shutter speed is a 1000th of a second but the ISO is 3200 and unless you used a high end Canon or as I have Nikon D4's you will see that around the her hat of img0443 you will see "fringing" which is caused by digital artifacts.
The only way you can get the image quality would be to rest the camera on something like a bean bag (it's not possible to have a monopod in this line of work). And to cover the camera, or have it in a backpack and shoot from the hip so to speak.
Anyway, I do admire your pluck and bravery, and I'm sure we all applaud you.
