I would suggest trying again and using manual focus.

What lens did you use? You've got some sharp lenses.

I trust you used a tripod.

I used the EF 16-35mm f2.8 lens and yes i did use a tripod for all my shots.

if you want to get the sharpest shot:

use the lowest ISO setting
use mirror lock up
use wireless remote/timer
infinite focus (in your case)
TRIPOD

Tripod of course,
And just Bracket your focus on manual.
You should be focussing 1/3 of the way into your shot for broadest depth from foreground to back round. focus on the back round the foreground somewhere in the middle and so on. You'll get it.
