First off
Money does NOT = good shots, putting pro tools into the hands of a fool with more money than sense does not make good photos.
It IS what you do with the tools you have, some of the best shots EVER taken have been with "little" cameras like yours.
However someone who knows there onions can make better use of pro gear, as well as your current one.
So, with your current kit, heres a few tips.
If you dont have a tipod, use a chair or something to place the camera on.
Use the timer, so you do not need to touch the unit, giving you a sharper picture.
Do not use the flash.
Make sure the room is in darkness, if possible.
Turn off auto and get to know the manual settings, play with it, experiment. The difference this makes, makes all the difference. There will be limited adustments with your camera but there should be some.
Get the camera as square to the glass as possible, the distortion of light when it passes though glass at an angle is not good.
Your photo is massively over exposed (to slow shutter speed OR to large an aperture) aperture controls depth of field, small for large DOF and large for small DOF. Again experiment.
Colours and other things can be enhanced/corrected in photoshop or the like.
One thing is for sure, it is not an easy task. Here is one which has a smallish depth of field as I wanted the little flowers to be the attention, it is over exposed slightly causing the sand to blow out.
Try and try again.
