I am still working out my new dslr (Nikon D80 with 18-200 lens). Automatic focus has actually been somewhat of a challenge for me as I upgraded from point and shoot. I did some minor pp with photoshop Cs3. I did change the lighting a bit...not sure if it was too much. I also did typical highlights/ shadows, contrast, etc. I have struggled with past few challenges...feedback welcome as I continue to learn.

I have the same 18-200, and it's a wonderful lens ... ! I'm thinking maybe a faster shutter speed and/or slightly higher aperture might have helped your focus here. Also, check the focus settings in your camera menu, and make sure VR is turned on, on your lens. (I only turn it off for tripod shots). I've also experimented w/manual focus, which you turn on on your lens ... especially for macro-type shots. I apologize in advance if you already know all this!
