Put the ISO down to 100 or 200, only use 800 if you are shooting hand held and don't have a choice.

A higher f/stop will give you a better depth of field and improve the colors/contrast.

White balance on Auto? Might want to play with the settings some if you don't want to do it in photoshop later.
