You can also try manual focusing - I find the best way is to stick it in live view and zoom in to the max on the viewerfinder. Honestly though it's hard to critique something that small, and I'm not even sure there's anything wrong with your photo. What did you use to resize it? Could just be that the resizing algorithm isn't very good.
Thanks, I'll try again tonight but I'm going to try a night shot. Would you suggest a longer shutter speed or a bigger aperture? I'm still not certain when you're supposed to want shutter speed or aperture. I just kind of know if you want the silky feel in waterfalls then a lower shutter speed is good, but with night lights or sunsets I'm not sure.

I used AutoStitch [http://cvlab.epfl.ch/~brown/autostitch/autostitch.html] - not sure why it came out so small, maybe I should try messing with the settings.

Thanks for the input I really appreciate it.
