It looks a little soft to me as well, was this hand-held or on a tripod?  Pierro is correct with the VR, if on a tripod, turn the VR off, shutter 1/500 or higher, turn it off.  I would have bumped the iso up to 400, which would have let you use a higher shutter speed, helping you to get a sharper image.Colin</blockquote>
