You might also want to try shooting at f/8 to increase your depth of field. That's a very busy image, and it's hard to find where the point of focus actually is ... if that's the issue.

1/320 should be fast enough to minimize camera shake, but I don't know if you're using a lens with image stabilization or not.

As Digirame already asked, is this raw or jpeg? Has there been any post processing? It is also possible that you have a soft lens, but you'd have to have access to other lens to prove or disprove that.

Image stabilization is on, and RAW.  I did a lot of research on the L lens, it's supposed to be a very sharp lense.

Here's where my beginner nature is shining through.  I'm trying to investigate a low aperture as a possible culprit.  If I kept this at 1/320 and boosted to f/8, the ISO would need to be 2000.  Shouldn't I be avoiding high ISOs like this though?
