Re-posting this image as the comments were to increase the sharpness, let me know what you think now, i did as suggested
Shot this at Club Mahindra Resort in Coorg. The whitish background is the early morning mist.
Camera Model Canon EOS 40D, 100-400mm
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/400
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO 400
Focal length 400mm
Hand held
The leaves are in focus as well as the body. However, the f7.1 aperture has not given sufficient depth of field to cover the head. Also, I feel there is perhaps a bit of head movement. A higher shutter speed would have helped in making it sharp while capturing.
While sharpening during post processing, you can see that at one point the edges of objects start disintegrating or cracking. You need to back off from there ie. reduce a bit from that point.
