I have two current resonance structures drawn I am just not sure if there are any more, can someone please confirm, if there are/ guide me on how to get them if there are anymore?

Please resize the images and please attach them to the post. Wouldn't hurt if they were easier to read too, try to take pictures under a lamp.
 
You should have no negative charges on the carbons, first of all, nor should there be a positive charge on O. Second, I always count the double bonds as well as the lone pairs.There should be at least 4 resonance structures, because there are 4 double bonds. As it is, I can only see 4 resonance structures. Keep moving them around from your first resonance structure (where O is a single bond and has a negative charge).

(edited because I gave the answer)
