Congrats with new lens.
If you're telling that you have a new lens it's fine,but if you're telling us that you post a sharp image - I'm in doubt. For me it looks out of focus (at least at my work monitor).
Sorry, didn't want to break you heart.

George,
I have the same lens and I can tell you without a doubt that this frame is soft or OOF. The 24-70 is one damn sharp lens! Did you USM? Camera Shake?

Take it back and get 24-85mm USM. It takes pictures like yours being at it's worse: wide open @24mm: excellent contrast and so-so sharpness. Stopped down and zoomed it it's even better.
You'll be lovin it too. Save $800 for something else.

no, it's motion blur: the mushrooms were shaking their heads.

Really? Mechanical mushrooms?
I thought the leaves behind the mushrooms are sharper.

With all due respect, and some sympathy, the image you posted has a sharp background, with the foreground mushroom subject (I presume) at the edge of the front side visual depth of field. In short, its slightly backfocussed.
This could be user error, or it just could be the 24-70. Since my 24-70 tends to do the same thing, mostly at 70mm, and I've gone through 3 copies that were much, much worse, I'm guessing its the lens causing the problem. You need to check. There are a billion posts on this BBS on how to do this - just search under "back focus" or "24-70".
Brian
P.S. Good luck (better luck than I've had, anyway)!

That photo won't tell me squat about the sharpness of the lens. It must have been handheld. It looks very soft. I'm not knocking, just I was expecting a super sharp super contrasty shot to really sell this monster.Went to Henery's CA and bought it. But they tryied to give me a

George what is the subject of this photo?
This photo could have been taken with $50 Vivatar lens. So why did you spend four $digits on an "L" lens to shoot this?
The crop is better. Do you sell sell them? the fungi?

Sorry. I can't tell much from your posted image. Its focussed at infinity, involves moving water and has no gradual depth of field cues - just in focus and out of focus.
I suggest you experiment on a few items lined up in a row, shot at a 45 degree angle to provide perspective and depth of field cues.

Looks OK to me, too, provided in-camera sharpening was at 0, no sharpening in post was applied and considering it's from a 10D and shot at nearly wide open aperture under relatively dull lighting conditions.
