For future reference you'd better off resizing images for web display (max 800-1000 pixels or so horizontally) before posting them. That would have been enough resolution to get an idea of what was going on.
I'd still recommend taking some more test shots and psoting them here before doing anything rash. I admit that since your posted image so so big it was impossible to see at once, that made it very difficult to judge what was going on. I initially said that the left side was much more distant than the right and so of course it wouldn't be in focus, and that is true. But then, there probably should have been *some* point in the water where it was in focus, even of the background you originally posted wasn't. So this poctuire probably *does* show some sort of problem. But it could have been a fluke not related to the lens itself - smudge on the lens, lens not mounted correctly, bad quality filter mounted in front of lens, etc. It would be worth taking some test shots in more controlled settings - with no filter on, with a freshly-cleaned lens, etc.
