Awaaaaay back when I was in school, an instructor taught us a quick mantra:

"Think F.A.S.T."

F_Focus; A_Aperture; S_Shutter; T_THINK!

It works pretty good! :-)

Definitely a good point to check exposure!

Alas even the second one looks hazy and unsharp and the white balance might be off...looks kinda blue.

Your camera is capable of better shots. The shutter speed (1/100) was too low for your lens setting (270mmm) if it was handheld but that doesn't explain the lack of clarity.

ISO 1600 is a bit noisy for your camera. That may be the source of the problem.

The conditions explain part of the look and the need to use high ISO. If you could have moved in closer and used a wider angle your sharpness would improve. You might want to use a modest EV adjustment to increase the exposure...without blowing anything out...in these circumstances. You probably want to keep the f-stop where you have it or higher.

I rotated it a bit to make the lightpost vertical. I also cropped a bit to eliminate the upper right intrusion...tree branch? Sharpened and added a little vignette also.

Thank you for the suggestions and comments , the pp done does make it stand out more.
Posted them for James56 to compare out of the camera no work done so he could compare to results he got from his camera on hay bales.
I have been trying to experment with diff EVO's as it has been set to 0-0 so I tried bumping it up a little to see what results i get also on some a bit of over or underexposure for bright and dark places .
Appericate your helpful input and the thoughtful manner in which you present it .

You have to first download the image by right clicking on download, telling it where to save it, and then right click on the downloaded image file.

I have to download then take it into PSE or iphoto to see the properties. I think it might depend on your browser or computer, not sure which.
