The two most important things, IMO, are a stable tripod (along with a sufficiently fast shutter speed) and nailing the focus. Live view really helps for that
Once you master the technique, the lens will be your limiting factor. Based on the attached shot, I'd say your technique is already pretty good! Just sharpen it a bit and boost the contrast to give it that pop.
