Can you try auto focus?

Maybe an issue like I have - manual not so accurate some times. My eyes aren't what they use to be.

You are trying to determine whether it is you or the camera right? Do some testing on a less busy subject. Like one branch - not the bird behind some branches. May eliminate some issues.

Could not tell if you used auto focus or manual?

Will give it a try, thanks.

Hi all, thanks for looking at this for me. I guess it would help to supply the info. :) I shoot with a 35mm Canon Powershot SX20is. This photo was shot in manual mode at 1/160s, f/5., focal length 100mm, auto white balance, 4.0 zoom, ISO 400. I did crop it yes, and attached is the original version and seems I didn't keep the original version unfortunately, but the attached photo was shot with the same exposure. Used Picasa to fix the lighting a bit and sharpen a little. Hope that helps. Thank you.

Get as close to the board as the lens will allow, all lens have a minimum focusing distance.This gives you a minimum DOF and show up any front or back focusing distance errors.
