Took this at 1/500th of a second which seems a bit slow, but feedback appreciated of course.

ISO 320, F/4. Yes, I did go out just to get this shot, I've taken the picture before which also turned out soft, so my intention was to get it sharper which unfortunately didn't work out. I had my camera on a tripod with my sigma 70/200 f/2.8. The only thing I can think of which is making this image soft is a combination between the shutter speed and the focus possibly hitting the water behind the swans, I did use single point focus hovered over the swans but it's possible it's focused for the background.
I think the water been splashed up and the speed of the swans flapping their wings is just to fast for 1/500th of a second.
Yes I had AFC on, and I'd say I should of gone up to ISO 640 or even 800. And I did actually pan the shot, using a tripod too. I think the focus is the suspect here, I guess my focus point missed the swans slightly.
